Trumpty Dumpty wanted a wall,
The Democrats said ‘Your order’s too tall,
Use your resources you find your own men,
We’re working to see you’re not POTUS again.

Trumpty Dumpty stamped both his feet
Flexed his fingers and started to tweet,
He tweeted until his fingers got sore
Then he swore and he swore and he swore and he swore.

Trumpty Dumpty found refusal too troubling
In no time at all he could feel himself wobbling,
He lurched to the left and then to the right,
But soon realised he was losing the fight.

His cup it was emptying not getting fuller,
He’d reason to fear the findings of Mueller,
He wished he had never promised a wall,
That thought is what caused Trumpty Dumpty to fall.

His shell was all broken and there was no yolk,
The whole world just saw him as some kind of joke.
The fall it led to ego deflation,
And hopefully on to world co-operation.

Eggs, only white, like countries and bread,
Leads to deficiencies, as someone said
‘Strength lies in differences’ *-may diversity rule,
And America vote out this twittering fool.

Yes Trumpty Dumpty wanted a wall,
And wanting that helped to make Trumpty fall
And ‘POCUS’ resources and POTUS’S men,
Could not put Trumpty together again.
* Stephen R. Covey
