Melania is a real doll but ‘tribute’ is certainly droll It shows a wooden frown and copy of her gown I think it resembles a troll! I'm not sure the statue is a true likeness to this beautiful lady! Poem inspired by this newspaper article www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jul/05/melania-trump-statue-slovenia-sevnica 8/2/19

G'day Jan … I think whoever designed and named this needs an eye test and new glasses perhaps. Thanks for another witty limerick Jan - Lindsay

I think it's weirdly appropriate the doll has no facial features (aka no identity) - probably a metaphor there!

I for one hope the Donald loses. I am sure every one on the net does not agree with me. Everything is not political, however. Funny ode - keep 'em coming! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Hi Jan, when I first saw this on the news it was shocking. What was the 'artist' thinking? I'm sure Melania doesn't like it . Best wishes~ Warren
