PRESIDENT TRUMP - YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

orange tweeting bird
sent his buddy to Greenland
frosty reception!

Percy pig candies
UK tariff ten percent ~
are they for the chop?

penguins and grey seals
are desert island dwellers ~
how can they be charged?

dow jones Index falls
trump claims there will be a boom ~
egocentric creep!

Duke Beaufort April 9, 2025 at 4:18 PM Thanks Jan....it is all very strange. Many of us here in the US are mortified by the talk of taking over Greenland. Your poem is too funny though. Are the penguins learning to carry guns?

Tom Cunningham April 4, 2025 at 4:57 AM Lol, brilliant Jan, he's going to bankrupt the US the way he's going. The world will hit the US with tariffs now. Don't know how the penguins and seals will respond haha. Tom

Lin Lane April 3, 2025 at 4:49 PM I thought I was out of words to describe what despicable things he’s been pulling but your Senryu have refueled me. Well done, Jan. I think I’ll have found a few words on the idiocy going on by tomorrow.

Ilene Bauer April 3, 2025 at 4:40 PM Well done, Jan! Love the image! I heard that some Canadians are wearing their own MAGA hats that stand for Make America Go Away!

Darlene De Beaulieu April 3, 2025 at 3:41 PM Hello Jan , You have said it very well. I agree. Hugs. /Darlene/
