the Italian judges sent
was somewhat understandably
cocky and confident,
but he became indignant
when upon arrival there
He saw Mr. Mugabe
and he sotto voce sweared
“Scusami Roberto,”
said the haughty Senor B
“I don’t think you should be here,
I know Donald will agree;
this isn’t for just amateurish
clowns and wannabes,
but undisputed idiots
like Mr Trump and me.”
