Oh, the Rallies!

Instead of dealing with real issues,

Trump wants the adulation

Of crowds of supporters at huge rallies

Continuing across the nation.

 

Obviously, he loves the spotlight.

The praise of the crowds turns him on

And brings a smile to a face

That's usually wan or woebegone.

 

The instant gratification he gets

From faithful fans and cheering crowds

Strokes his huge, overblown ego

And lets him keep his head in the clouds.

 

Smitten with the fervent applause

From fawning masses, loyal and true,

Trump beams. But let's not forget:

Hitler loved HIS rallies, too.
