How Do You Trump This?

Real estate developer Donald Trump,

At his presidential launch event,

Apparently paid people to attend

To fill the seats. Money well spent?

Standing there at the lectern, Trump

Gazed at his audience, expressing his awe.

"There's no crowd like this," he said.

"Thousands" of people are what he saw.

It was more likely a couple of hundred,

And sources say that many were paid

Fifty dollars a shot, we hear--

That's fifty dollars if they stayed.

The "crowd" wore T-shirts and carried signs

And applauded the man. So Trump now embarks

On a campaign resembling a P-R exercise,

And furthermore, he's getting low marks.

Is it illegal to pay attendees?

No, just little bit funny. Why?

Well, because it makes one wonder

How many votes he intends to buy.
