Greenland

Greenland

A Poem by Bob B

DJT:

I want to buy Greenland.

Hey, this is fun!

I will turn the island into

State fifty-one.

They say ice is melting.

Bah! That’s okay.

When you mine and drill on the land,

Ice gets in the way.

 

I am going to buy Greenland.

You just wait and see.

I dare anybody

To say "NO!" to me.

I can’t wait to get my

Hands on all that gold,

Oil, copper, lead, and zinc.

I WON’T be undersold.

 

I plan to buy Greenland

With all its wolves and seals

And polar bears and penguins.

I’m so good at deals.

Polar bears will make terrific

Rugs. I don't care!

What? You say there are no penguins?

I will bring some there.

 

So I want to buy Greenland.

Is THAT unorthodox?

It should be so easy;

You know money talks.

Tell me: how could there be

Objections to my plan?

The whole world loves me;

I’m their favorite man.


I am buying Greenland.

I'm sure you've heard reports.

I'll construct my tower AND

I'll build some big resorts.

Greenlanders will love being

Part of my domain.

If anybody loses here,

Their loss will be my gain.

 

I can’t wait to buy Greenland.

This is not a ruse.

I’ll give them an offer--

One they can’t refuse.

If the Danes say "No," I'll

Do what I've done before:

I'll just have to start another

Blasted tariff war.

 

I want to buy Greenland,

Greenland,

Greenland….

My daughter-in-law heard me laughing and had to come and see. Now she's reading all of them and laughing right along with me. Hey, that rhymes too! OMG, my son's going to think we're drinking in here and I don't even drink, lol. Oh, Mr. Bob, you're great! I needed this way more than anyone should.
