Melania

I haven’t seen “Melania” -
To do so, I’ve no plans,
For I am not, in any shape 
Or form, one of her fans.

It’s just another instance of
A move that’s gauche and crass,
To rub into our faces
All the bad that’s come to pass.

Our country ruled by tyrants,
Lowlifes bringing fear and strife
And now 40 million dollars
Spent to showcase one such wife.

Just to think of all that money
And the homes that it could build 
Wasted on each White House lily,
Which just reprobates would gild.

When I checked “Rotten Tomatoes,”
Which rates many movie picks,
I was not surprised to see it rated
With a lowly 6.

Called self-serving and pathetic,
Boring, dull and bad and bland, 
Critics hated it but not her fans,
Who grovel on command.

Shocking how much money is being wasted that would help the less fortunate in society, it's getting to the stage where nothing he does shocks me anymore. The King who never was. Tom

It’s all about money. Disgraceful. The more they get, the more they want. I get exactly what you mean about the money. How much good would money being used to build a ballroom have done to help poor Americans?
