Donald likes to boogie

To song YMCA

With trade war outside raging

We see him pout and sway

He's not a Patrick Swayze

Though it's a dirty dance

Imposing swingeing tariffs

He's taking such a chance

Markets suffer turmoil

With China hitting back

Instead of just kowtowing

Beijing will now attack

Trump boasts of countries pleading

To somehow make a deal

Like a schoolyard bully

He wants all brought to heel

Yet now he grants them 90 days

Respite from pain he's caused

His latest blinking two-step

Deserves no one's applause.
