Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post -- Trump’s favorite venue for making news is right in front of the presidential chopper -- Health-care system causing rampant burnout among doctors, nurses -- Argentina’s economy is collapsing. Here come the Peronistas, again.



When you are the President you think it only proper
to answer questions from the press in front of your own chopper.
If there is a question you don't like to recognize,
you simply do not hear it while the blades tear up the skies.
Of course it's windy underneath those whirling blades of steel;
but it becomes a hurricane when Trump begins his spiel.
But all that talking's wasted; it would really be a boon
if Trump replaced the chopper with a nice hot air balloon.

My doctor's always tired; the nurse is sleepy, too.
Even the receptionist is looking kinda blue.
They're working many hours to keep my health robust;
but they are now so understaffed they crumble like pie crust.
Dear doctor, hit the golf links; kind nurse, go on a toot --
as long as I have Medicare you'll always get your loot!

Way down in Argentina, where beef was always cheap,
the Peronistas hanker in office back to creep.
They love the common people, and always subsidize
utilities and wages (while telling whopping lies.)
Austerity don't cut it; the gauchos think the past
of easy money and the bribe should be returned at last.
Once crooks have been in office, they never go extinct;
voters are forgetful even when they've been hoodwinked!
