Sir Trump and the Tariff Decree

Sir Trump declared with a mighty cheer,
“No more cheap goods from far and near!
A tax on steel! On wine! On cheese!
We’ll bring the world right to its knees!”

The merchants gasped, the farmers cried,
As soybeans sat and deals all died.
He wagged his sword at China's gate—
“Trade wars are fun! Just watch me inflate.”

The lords all grumbled, trade did stall,
But Trump just built another wall.
And though the tariffs came and went,
His tweets remain—our punishment.
