No. 251: Height Jinx, Weighty Matters

Trump’s driving license, issued in May 2012, stated his height as 6ft 2in. Yet according to the report issued by the White House physician on Tuesday, Trump is 6ft 3in.

Eyebrows were also raised at Trump’s stated weight. His mass of 239lb was just 1lb under him being classed as obese. — Guardian

Six foot two? Six foot three?
Two-thirty-nine? Obesity!
Can Donald even see his feet?
Brain all mold, “hair” all gold, 
a stable genius, so we're told.
And, sweet Jesus, does he tweet!

Now, if you like nuts with bloated guts
who love junk food
(three Big Macs for bedtime snacks),
we've got one, and boy he's lewd.
But would he lie, would he cheat,
would he wear a hood and sheet?
Can Donald even see his feet?

(Wash, rinse, repeat.)
