No. 216.2: EXTRA! Yankee Stay Home!

In the hours after President Trump retweeted a string of anti-Islamic hate videos, Britons reiterated their call for his state visit to be canceled.

In the House of Commons, several members of Parliament suggested that the president should be uninvited. 

Today in U.K., Trump's persona non grata
there they see him as shellfish* see otters.
A devouring beast,
to say the least,
but with defective medulla oblongata†.

'Tis a pity our deranged irrational
leader's taken his tweets international,
reviving The Ugly American
and Making America Grate Again.

His timing in this makes me wary.
Right after Meghan's engagement to Harry.
The Prince, invoking his Royal Right,
made a list of who not to invite
to his Royal wedding.
(You see where I'm heading?)

Trump may make us commoners wince,
but you don't take no shit, when you're a prince!

*I herewith apologize to the smattering
of Brits who find this comparison unflattering.
I mean no “offence”, I'm merely nattering.
Relax, do not panic.
Medulla is Latin.
It is not Islamic.
