The Wall



President Trump made a meandering plea for border wall funding Tuesday, just hours before a high-stakes meeting with Democratic congressional leaders as a deadline approaches to reach a budget deal next week and avert a partial government shutdown.
by John Wagner for the Washington Post

I gotta have that wall right now
the President exclaimed.
Those awful migrants at the gates
will leave us dead and maimed!
They wanna roll right in and snatch
our livelihoods and wealth --
and they don't even have the grace
to do it with some stealth.
Brazen and resourceful, they're the enemy we dread.
Blue collar jobs they lust for, and will steal our daily bread.
No English do they habla; they're as ignorant as dirt.
(And by the way, Rosita, would you please go wash this shirt?)
A caravan of gangsters; such low morals do they breed --
if we don't build that wall right now we're facing a stampede!
I cannot be responsible for what this country faces
when all of South America comes here to take our places.
So either build my wall right now or government be hanged --
I'll close up shop until you give me power that is fanged!
