O great Reflecting Pool with wondrous
Beauty meant to last,
Your algae love to sing the praise
Of every chloroplast!
Symbol of Trump's presidency
And monument to what
Happens when the country is
Ruled by a nut.
Trump says only he can fix
A problem, so he hires
Grifters with his no-bid deals.
Ah, then what transpires?
The project fails miserably,
But still Trump will laud
All the work his buddies did,
Even though it's flawed.
Your "American flag blue" sealant
Allowed the algae to flourish
By making a warmer environment
For friends that it would nourish.
Reflecting Pool, your dark blue water
Became a vivid green.
That that would happen, according to experts,
Was not unforeseen.
The blue sealant lifted off
The bottom in large strips,
Which tourists took as souvenirs
While laughing over quips.
Of course, Trump had to find
Someone else to blame.
Democrats are always for him
An easy target to name.
Over fourteen millions bucks
Were spent to restore
Your beauty, while the people suffer
As costs continue to soar.
Reflecting Pool, full of algae,
Remind us all; make haste!
Show what happens when a land
Is run by fraud and waste.
