Poem 275: Canadian Tariff Trilogy

There was a time in the United States when Donald Trump did not  run

Didn’t know anything about his daughters or his sons

Long before this man had attained any appeal

Way before he published the art of the deal

Now he is back and has no bounds

Who thought it could be worse the second time around?

He wants to rename the “Gulf Of Mexico” and that’s not all

There’s talk of him wanting to continue his border wall

He started in January and isn’t even spring

Dealing with new tariffs seems to be his latest thing

His dedicated followers still believe everything he has to say

Not realizing how much money that they will have to pay

He looked north to “Canada” and this is what he sees

The fifty first state is what he wants it to be

Calling “Trudeau” the “Governor” of this land

How he got re-elected I will never understand

Some things aren’t going as planned

Is he still talking about purchasing “Greenland”?

Getting “Musk” to fire workers by email

Even his orange complexion is starting to pale

Are the tariffs coming? Yes or No?

Just make up your mind, we want to know

I know you don’t know the details

How do you decide is it just heads or tails?

There is something you should know

You’re decision making is a little slow

This has happened two months in a row

There is something that you aren’t realizin’

Us “Canadians” aren’t going to let you have your way

Turns out you may have to adjust your bookkeeping

Looks like your country will have to pay

How can you treat your neighbours this way?

This is the tip of the iceberg, we aren’t done

Clearing our shelves of “Kentucky” whiskey

We as a nation are united as one

How can you treat your neighbours this way?

This is the tip of the iceberg, we aren’t done

Elbows up, pull up your britches

We as a nation are united as one

We are “Canadians” we don’t usually complain

“Donald Trump” you are a royal pain

We can’t sit back and let you have your way

It’s not just us that will have to pay

“Ontario” shutting electric power down

Coming soon to one of your cities or towns

It’s going to cost your “truckers” a little more bread

Toll fees for truckers going to Alaska is coming instead

We are just at the bottom rung

We aren’t close to being done

Are you beginning to understand?

This is “Our Home And Native Land”

Alberta may cut off your oil

Is your blood coming to a boil?

Don’t try to land in our country on your “Air Force One”

You’re the only reason why all this trouble has begun

The friendship between our countries is real

When you are in power it loses its appeal

Maybe you have no intentions of making a proper deal

Once your term is over, our relationship will heal
