GREAT
by Jacquelyn Shah
First one-hundred days: GREAT! Just GREAT!
Let’s make Trump great again. Again and again.
By saying he’s great, never been greater!
So . . . TRUMP IS GREAT! There’s no debate.
Trump is great, first-rate. GREAT!
Head of GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT state.
Of all the many many jaw-dropping traits,
the most impressive one he has is greatness.
Just ask him. And ask him how he thinks
it’s going in the oval place. GREAT! he’ll state
unequivocally (though that’s a word his High-Ass,
excuse me, Highness, wouldn’t know). Our fate:
a GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Trumpian state.
