The Ballroom

A ballroom that’s fit for a king,
All covered with gold leaf and bling,
To glorify Trump
Who’s now in a slump,
Should not cost taxpayers a thing. (1)

Rich folks kiss the ring of the Don;
They’ll donate; they’ll flatter and fawn.
To be in Trump’s tribe,
Why not a small bribe?
But, what if the whole thing’s a con?

The press has reported a glitch.
It might be the old bait and switch.
A Trumpist bill will
Hand voters the bill, (2)
And we say, “That son of a bitch!”

A bunker will be underground
To keep Donald Trump safe and sound.
There’s no need to fret
If there is a threat,
Trump will be nowhere to be found. (3)

The biggest ballroom on the Earth
Will show us what Trump’s word is worth.
Where his sense of style,
Gross and mercantile,
Is subtle as Donald Trump’s girth.

Will Donald Trump dancing a waltz,
Succeed in concealing his faults?
Though in three/four time,
Trump’s slime is still slime,
And falsehoods will still remain false.

(1) Trump claimed over and over that the ballroom would be paid for by
himself and rich donors, not the taxpayer.
(2) A new bill in Congress will appropriate a billion dollars for Trump’s ballroom.
(3) Trump has also insisted that the ballroom and the bunker underneath is
needed for presidential security.
