№ 505: The Tenderfoot's Walls

Roman emperors were free to build walls,
as were emperors of China.
Khrushchev, though not an emperor at all,
built one causing NATO angina.
(No fan of NATO. Not me. Not I.
Nikita, I think, was my kind of guy —
you think I've a crush on
dictators Russian?)

So, no, this is no Twitter rant
And I can do it. Don't tell me I can’t.
I’ve oft answered questions,
Maybe. We’ll see.”
Well, what I see here is
E-MER-GEN-CY.
Flashing lights, klaxons
call me to action.
I am your leader.
This is a crisis.
I want this wall
to scare away ISIS.
Building a wall
is nothing at all.
With my super powers,
I built Trump Towers.

I’d build it myself,
despite FAKE NEWS slurs.
But, sadly, I can’t.
Because of bone spurs.

Remind you of anyone?
