Far Out

There  was a grade-school dropout named Truperter
Whose neighbors in his town said couldn’t be stupidter.
He said the earth was flat,
Dinosaurs were due back.
And he swore Donald Trump has a condo on Jupiter.

I'm with Jan on this one, Paul. Good to read you again. If I my suggest: "Who" should be "Whose" or "The". Best to you. /M

Thank you, Maurice. I value and appreciate your comments, which always hit the mark. Why did I not choose Whose? The answer must have something to do with the wages of age. All the best to you and your cherished ones, and thanks again.
