Weeping pustules, chancre sores  
Anal crabs and turd s’mores  
Fungal Donald and Russian whores  
(Some are threes, none are fours  
Unibrows and giant pores)  
This raging spawn of rancid sewers?  
I don’t want him, that makes him yours.

(Audience snaps fingers in approval, sips espresso, takes more benzedrine. Next, an anorexic existentialist does A Dance to Spring…)

D’ya hear the story about Cocaine Don  
He had a nose so stuffed it totally shone  
He had a Cocaine House and a Cocaine Life  
He even had a Cocaine Wife

…and he’s _aaalllll_ around our brains!

The depths of the swamp I will plumb  
While keeping mum ‘bout my income  
And lies I’ll embolden  
Like showers most golden  
Disputin’ that Putin’s my chum.

Dude’s not a troll. [Here’s his poetry website](https://mackenziepoet.com/about/). It’s not quite as much fun to read as the Trump poem is, but it’s still pretty fun.

Why do you hate me?  
Anyway, I’m sorry to say that it’s not the worst poem I’ve ever read. Hell, it’s not in the top 100. For one, it lacks discussion of souls and nothing is set off by tildes!  
“The Domhnall’s a giver whilst others just take / Ne’er gaining from that which his hands did not make.”

Hee.

Oh, good, you’ve never read the ones I wrote during my teenage years (thank god those happened before the internet was a thing!) :eek:

Anyway, I’m no good at limericks so here’s a clerihew:

Donald Trump  
Uses a gold-plated crapper when he takes a dump.  
His hands are tiny and his hair is bad,  
And his thoughts are all 140 characters. SAD!

Hickory dockory dick,

While collecting your urine. SO SICK!

You wanna go that route, then I’ll point out that the OP doesn’t say whether it’s official or not.

It’s just how people talk. No need to try and pick an argument.

I mean, when a website throws out three errors just trying to load, I don’t think any of us took it that seriously.

Whenever Donald Trump went down town,  
We people on the pavement looked at him:

Eh, just skip to the end.
