Not So Tariffic
Markets in a turmoil
And fears of global crash
Trade war sparked by White House
Investors' exit dash
Trump thinks that it's tariffic
To put world in a spin
One pities all the voters
Who let this blowhard in
They're heading for recession
With prices set to rise
For those who saw the signals
It's really no surprise
Tariffs on his neighbours
Tariffs on his foes
He'll probably try to slap them
On Greenland's icy floes
And over northern border
Canadians cannot wait
For Donald's latest pipe dream -
To make their land his State
Perhaps he hopes that King Charles
Will just give him the keys
Avoiding all the nastiness
If he decides to seize.
