Nero went on fiddling

While watching old Rome burn

Donald goes out golfing

As global markets learn

That tariffs aren't terrific

And don't free trade allow

Stocks all share the free fall

From Nikkei through to Dow

A bitter taste of medicine

From insulated Trump

Investments lose their value

As even hedge funds dump

He promised lower prices

And jobless full employ

But now in Main Street USA

There's worry more than joy

The world confronts recession

The pain felt everywhere

Except by White House bully -

This boastful billionaire.​​​​​
