Made her refuse him
Spoil his fun.

Then had a terrible thought

Suddenly, she was struck
By a truck carrying a large bank vault

Do some terrible things to your hat
But he’s happy for sure

Lips Chirping and Badly Burping

Regardless of weather,
Or else lips like leather;
Are chirping;
Badly burping;
Like a ball that is tether.

This is Trump the Terrible.

Ginger Whinger

There once was a terrible whinger
Whose hair was incredibly ginger
No one liked him at all
So he ran off from school
And went out to train as a ninja
