Funny, irreverent and ingenious
A collection of amusing verses about absurdity of Trump’s reign in the White House, narrated by the author and accompanied by his illustrations. Apart from the expected limericks there are clever pastiches and appropriate music and surprising sound effects plus brief explanations of the subject matter, for anyone who hasn’t been paying attention or is confused by the rollercoaster events of this presidency.
Although it’s a short book, it’s well worth a credit.
I don’t know if the USA has a Poet Laureate, but if it does, the writer will have to wait for Trump’s departure to be honoured!

Hilariously funny and quite to the point.
I enjoyed his poetic take on the. machinations of US politics we all have endured.
