genius in me fails to escape ~ trapped under a titanium plate

Did Talk To Trump
We talked to thick skulled Trump today,
With our minds would always like to play;
Memory was lost; (Also, Orange hair covered frost)
We paid the cost;
Uses reader boards when he forgets what to say.

Bolivia, NC
There used to be a train coming
through Brunswick County. Bags
of fertilizer had Bolivia on them
so they decided to call the town
Bolivia according to historicak facts.
I come to you by way of my pen,
to dispel some rumors told.
To hear the lies being spread,
does make my blood run cold.
There is no basis in facts,
that I have a heart of gold.
Never should it have been said,
that I could be a beauty to behold.
Then there is the one that states,
that I have complete self control.
Apparently, someone out there,
swears, I am not yet looking old.
I have a group of so called friends,
that claim I am not thick-skulled.
Some even swear I am demure
and have never been overbold.
It's a shame that lies like these,
have a way of taking hold.
Eventually, they may have even I,
resembling this picture they mould.
