Beans, beans
political lump!
The more you eat
the more you Trump.

The more you Trump
the smell is bitter.
Don’t buy the brand!
Delete such Twitter!

Beans, beans
a terrible flaw.
Ivanka’s hold
broke Hatch Act law!

So much is broke
from mouth to toilet!
That CEO
did certainly spoil it.

NOTE: Who remembers the slightly naughty version of this childhood rhyme? It went like this: Beans, beans / the wonderful fruit / the more you eat / the more you toot. / The more you toot / the better you feel. / Let’s eat beans at every meal. Why did I have to adapt this up to the 2020, adult version? Because there really is No Crime in Rhymin’. (Thanks to Joe Váradi, Laura Sheridan, and Cheryl in Corvallis, (@oregoncheryl), one of the “perfect 10s” in the TBTL community (who I welcome to the medium community!), for assistance with this effort.)
