Dollar Gets the Cold Shoulder
in Global Economic Boom
The dollar’s at an all-time low
Nobody wants it in escrow.
The nations of the world refuse
To use greenbacks to pay their dues.
They’d rather have a yen to spend;
So has the dollar reached the end?
No! By gad, it’s still the core
Of ev’ry blooming Dollar Store! A runaway fish-salting shed in Maine
has sparked a border incident.
In Maine a shed for smoking fish
To Canada went with a swish
After winter storms, I fear,
Blew it off its ancient pier.
Now the state is up in arms
And is not using many charms
To make Canadians return
The shed, with tidings very stern.
But Canada says ‘finders keepers’
So there might be war -- oh jeepers!
Cuz Trump such tactics must resist
And put our neighbor on Black List.
He’ll build a wall or send a shot
Across the border, like as not.
Then send in the Marines to snatch
The shed to bring back with dispatch.
Another conflict will begin,
As outmoded as Rin Tin Tin.
And all because a rotten shed
From our shores was blindly led.
