“His List” © Richard Spisak

 

Future America Getting Greater?

IF GREENLANDS REALLY on HIS LIST
Could he somehow overlook and maybe Canada might be MISSED?
Could UK sometime be a state? I bet he thinks that’d be really GREAT
Then BARON could really be a BARON, instead of just a Future Felon
And he could have a TITLE, You know – I think that’s VITAL
and Mexico could be a state
and a bunch more INMATES would make it REALLY REALLY GREAT
MAYBE THE WHOLE CARIB could be his new domain
And then he steal south America back from SPAIN

If only so many caribs weren’t so darl they’d be a lot closer
to his tiny heart.
