How could I possibly resist. Doggeral verse and Donald Trump go hand in hand.
Dumpty Trumpty
Sittin’ on a wall,
Scared to look down
For fear he might fall.
But his fall’s inevitable,
He just can’t win,
A fate so bettable,
Just go to the bank and cash it in.
And when he falls
The yokes on him,
Better that
Than a deep-water swim.
With his feet in his mouthHe’d sink like a rock,
And the folks down South
Wouldn’t show him a dock.
Just an arm-waving clown
Who scared us with claims
Of what he might do
While groping the dames.
‘Bout Barack Obama
You gave us some mirth
That he was illegal,
Had a Muslimy birth.
So long, Donald,
We won’t see you again,
Until the next Apprentice,
And we won’t watch you then.
I've always collected errors in diction, things people mis-hear, like "windshield factor" and "the next store neighbors." Years ago, one of my students wrote an essay in which she described the world as being harsh and cruel, "a doggy-dog world." I've since come to think she may have been more astute and accurate than those who describe it in the usual way. My Stories - Mobridge Memories -
About Me

Most of what I've written has been published as e-books and is available at Amazon. Match Play is a golf/suspense novel. Dust of Autumn is a bloody one set in upstate New York. Prairie View is set in South Dakota, with a final scene atop Rattlesnake Butte. Life in the Arbor is a children's book about Rollie Rabbit and his friends (on about a fourth grade level). The Black Widow involves an elaborate extortion scheme. Happy Valley is set in a retirement community. Doggy-Dog World is my memoir. And ES3 is a description of my method for examining English sentence structure.
In case anyone is interested in any of my past posts, an archive list can be found at the bottom of this page. I'd appreciate any feedback you may have by sending me an e-mail note--jertrav33@aol.com. Thanks for your interest.
