Letter to the editor: ‘We like him’

To the editor:

With the conclusion of its convention, the position of the Republican Party is now official and can be summarized as follows:

D. Trump is an awful mess,

Nevertheless we like him.

He blusters more and reasons less,

Nevertheless we like him.

His speeches ring with fear and rage,

He has no use for the minimum wage,

He treats the world as his private stage,

Nevertheless we’re for him.

(PS:  To avoid any implications of plagiarism, it should be noted that the above is a paraphrase of a poem from the 1930s by Ogden Nash. He was satirizing the report of President Hoover’s Commission on Prohibition. So, take that, Melania.)
