№ 639: Donald's Self-Assessment

FANTASY LAND (July 15)
I could sell ANYTHING better than Bezos,
sing sweeter than Pavarotti.
My words are better than William Shakespeare's.
(And my fans are less snotty.)
I could paint better than Pablo Picasso.
(If I bothered to do that.)
I could do a kids' book more entertaining
than Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat.
I could run a three minute mile.
I could pose naked for Playboy.
I could throw fastballs. Or touchdown passes.
And, if I chose to, I could birth babies.
I could write better lyrics than Porter.
Or Hart. Or Lin-Manuel Miranda.
I could fake the news better than Jim Acosta
I could teach Mafia bosses how to make pasta.
I could show my friend Kim a thing or two.
(Instruct him how to go bankrupt.)
I could teach Gypsy Rose Lee the ease of strip tease.
I could show Vesuvius how to erupt.
I could out-general Zhukov or Rommel.
I could out-land Aldrin and Armstrong.
I could out-model my wife, Melanie:
pasties on nipples, my schlong in a thong!

I am, I confess, always the best.
I out-race RuPaul in drag.
But you won't  — EVER!  —  hear me say that.
Because I never brag.
