Notes About The Poem

You 'Wooden' Know It's Melania Trump

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!

Lindsay Laurie August 3, 2019 at 11:08 PM 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 Jan Allison August 4, 2019 at 3:50 AM Thanks Lindsay its a monstrosity isn't it... I wonder if it will mysteriously burn down one day! hugs jan xx

Michelle Faulkner August 3, 2019 at 5:12 PM I think it's weirdly appropriate the doll has no facial features (aka no identity) - probably a metaphor there! Jan Allison August 3, 2019 at 7:31 PM lol Michelle that is a fabulous comment!!:-) hugs jan xx

Matthew Anish August 3, 2019 at 3:10 PM 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 Jan Allison August 3, 2019 at 7:31 PM I have to agree with you Matthew, makes me glad i don;t live in the US but now the Uk has Johnson and PM and that too is scary:-( hugs Jan xx

Warren Doll August 3, 2019 at 11:21 AM 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 Jan Allison August 3, 2019 at 7:29 PM It's hardly a tribute is it:-( hugs jan xx

Tom Cunningham August 2, 2019 at 3:23 PM Is this a joke ?, they going to stick pins in it, hideous or what lol. Tom. Jan Allison August 3, 2019 at 7:28 PM I wonder if someone will burn it down! Hideous it definitely is!!:-( hugs jan xx
