The Big Crabapple

The Big Crabapple has a new lease
Since the squeaking wheel gets all the grease
Ventilators galore
And still they want more
For Trump's tax obligations to cease

G'day Rico … this bug has really caught us by surprise in many ways. We're all practically housebound down here and can only leave for food necessities. I see the US appears to be getting worse each day - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Do you believe Trump would allow China, Italy or Spain to make more headline news than Trump? Stay home and stay healthy! Perfect opportunity for you to write more poems! Aloha! Rico

2017 NY population 19.85 million versus CA 39.54 million. Trump sent 2,000-ventilators to NY but only 159 BROKEN ventilators to CA, all of which required repair before use. Should corruption be rewarded? Aloha! Rico

Six ventilators will not be much help to a boatload or planeload of carriers, never mind residents, so I hope everyone is staying indoors and ordering more ventilators! Aloha! Rico

Can there be any fairness with the person in charge? I think not. Thank you for another great Limerick Rico. xxoo

Trump has yet to learn that every lie he tells is like throwing a boomerang which soars high in the air gaining momentum as it circles around to whack him in the back of the head when he least expect it! Aloha! Rico
