Tariffs
Let The Squirrels Eat The Tariffs.
They'll Use Them To Spread Seeds
To Plant Trees In The Divine Waste
They Leave Behind...
Uhhh...
Once I'm Done Eating...

Despite the fear mongering
(phony news) (Socialist Blues)
American's economy is doing
well – not, in a hand-basket,
going to hell. Today's new
jobs report, 228,000 created,
America being resuscitated --
(Sorry for tariffs, no other choice)
(Capitalist’s again have an enterprising
sane voice)
(Despite Socialist Boos, by adopting
Free-trade World Economies will all
prosper~ and not lose!)
Those corrupt closer to home,
The little man is no-longer your
manipulated cash-cow – we had
sense of being ripped off~ Musk,
is only showing us, by who and
how.

If you're in a bar, you can always order,
many brands of beer from south of the border.
The three biggest brands any connoisseur would know,
include Corona, Dos Equis, and Modelo.
However, tariffs will make us pay mas dinero.
Yes, we will pay more for cerveza mexicana,
while we reside in the United States of America.

bootlicking idolatry
He’s a peculiar star
he comes from TV
ambition is his sphere
and his every line is a trick
all know him a notorious liar
whose business is schadenfreude
but many curry his sweet favour
for he has the cowards furry
and an actors need to be flatter'd
He has no quality worthy of entertainment
but we must see him every hour
for he is an hourly promise-breaker
for rashness, superfluous folly and thievery
the world has noted, he has no historical equal
In moral retreat, he outruns any jockey
the treasures of his idolatrous worshipers
he straightway began to strip away, by tariff
too late their despair they will proclaim
but the misery will be well earned

With President Trump, no country should mess
unless her leaders and citizenry crave hyper-stress
Two weeks in office, he’s reined in three socialist wannabees

For your Super Bowl party,
When buying your chips,
Cross off guacamole
As one of your dips.
For most avocados
Are farmed way down south
And travel from Mexico
Straight to your mouth.
The same will apply to
Tequila and beer,
Since tariffs raise prices,
Or that’s what I hear.
So Mexican products,
Canadian, too,
Will get more expensive
For me and for you.
Though prices of eggs
Have been causing a shock,
Just wait ‘til folks find
It’s the same with their guac!
