Guess Who?

He won’t give a penny to help Ukraine;

He won’t lift a finger or part with change.

He wants his America ‘great again’

And thinks that such places are foreign and strange.

 

He won’t give a penny to help Ukraine;

He prefers to do favours for his mates:

Like jailbirds whose crimes are far from mundane,

And heads of authoritarian states.

 

He won’t give a penny to help Ukraine;

He thinks it is mostly a staged event.

He tells them to shut up and take their pain,

As though they are the ones who should repent.

 

He won’t give a penny to help Ukraine;

He looks past the corpses and body bags.

Discounting the innocent victims slain,

His span of attention already flags.

 

He won’t give a penny to help Ukraine;

He thinks that the country’s a busted flush.

He’ll treat its plight with a yawning disdain

And won’t even be prepared to discuss.

 

He won’t give a penny to help Ukraine;

(He’ll tell the invader he should attack!)

When Kyiv seeks help, his message is plain:

Get on the next flight and do not come back!

Ukrainewho knows?

Thank you Graham, John and Tim for your comments. The prospect of this guy, with his agenda of violence and revenge, getting four more years in the White House is truly frightening. Support for Ukraine would crumble away and Russia would be the only beneficiary.

And my thanks to Nigel, Tom, Hugh, Steve, K Lynn, Hélène, Manish and Bethany for liking.

Ah, the orange skinned Oompa Loompa, want a be dictator. Lunatics are always frightening, because they live in fantasy land more surreal than those of Roald Dahl.
Very much to the point Stephen.

As a 70-something (“Surely not” I hear you say) I have seen a dozen or so Presidents come and go. But none of them frightened me like this one.

The state of UK/USA politics is in a parlous state Stephen. No wonder Russia China et al are chancing their arms!

Thank you for this reminder as always
