Pork Pugilism Proffered
(in the "Standard" Shakespearean 14-line Sonnet style:)

Trump says we have the greatest military.
He should say most expensive, but “Oh, no!”
He claims that both the Angel and the Faerie
have told him where the facts of life can go.
And who are we to offer a rebuttal?
we mortals who have eyes and ears and brains.
To say “We’ve lost our wars,” is hardly subtle,
yet brings upon Trump Toadies awesome pains
as they attempt to stifle criticism,
demanding huge new budgets for “the troops.”
Which opens for debate a yawning schism.
How best to strangle Trump’s pet welfare groups?
Don’t wrestle with Trump’s Pigs. Tell them to shove it,
else you’ll get dirty and Trump’s Pigs will love it.
