I tried to pack a lot into this short ditty. E.g.,"Rope-a-dope" was the boxing strategy of Muhammed Ali...Sometimes the best "hope of dope" is death...'Rope,' of course, is slang for marijuana/dope...What else you can find in this word-play?

Obama smoked dope Then tried to sell hope Will Trump hang himself At the end of a rope?
