№ 662.2: EXTRA! It's Not Easy Being Greenland

Danish politicians dismiss US president’s apparent interest in island as ‘hopefully a joke’

THE GREAT WHITE NORTH (August 16)


When I buy Greenland, we'll have Canada cornered,
surrounded by us and the ice,
which someone told me's supposed to melting.
A Maple Leaf state would be nice.
(It'd be just one state. I hafta inform ya
they have fewer people than California.)
With Arctic Ocean now fit for sailing,
think of the shipping. Think of the whaling.
I see my flag proudly unfurled. 
Canada, Greenland. TOMORROW THE WORLD.
I'll be showered with praise, inundated with thanks.
I'll borrow the money from Deutsche Bank.
