No. CLXII: My Weekly Reader revisited

Trump Reveal and Disgrace
repeal and replace
ever so sweet
watch uninsured
die in the street


Brexit
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the Thames
even if it's just
from London to Gravesend

British Empire
















Trump/Kim
nukes and sass
“No, I'll kick your ass”
all that remains
will just be stains


Trump/Nixon
one thing Trump won't
take from Nixon's playbook
who'd ever believe his
“I'm not a crook.”


Manafort
I retort
I did not consort.
(Vlad, old sport, 
where's my diplo passport?)


Trump Midnight Confusions
I herewith order
closing the border.
(Which one's my wife,
which one's my daughter?)


Genocides
sometimes Hutus kill Tutsis
sometimes Tutsis kill Hutus
the only difference is who
you send the bill to


Religions
of late I've concluded
(need I add wearily)
there's no taking
religion seriously
