Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post ** Trump asks Supreme Court to shield his tax returns from prosecutors ** These remote islands are closing to visitors next spring in the name of overtourism ** House prepares to hear from recalled U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Yovanovitch.

The President is not a dope;

he ain't providing his own rope.

His tax returns are sacrosanct

(with all the dough that he has banked.)

If I were in the White House chair

my tax returns I would not share --

Those whose tax returns aren't prone

to fibs may be the first to stone . . .

The Faroe Islands will be closed,

and tourists there will be deposed.

The natives don't like peeping Toms

and do not need those foreign alms.

They'd rather visit with their sheep

and so a low profile to keep.

If in Klaksvik you would dock

you'll masquerade as just livestock.

Ambassadors have come to rue

the Trump admin's loud ballyhoo.

And from Ukraine, Yavanovitch

is set to be the biggest snitch.

What she has to say might be

the linchpin to Trump's history.

But then again, at Foggy Bottom

they always know just how to plot 'em.

If she comes out as unbent,

I bet she runs for president.
