Donald Trump, Sr.



Donald Trump, Sr.
by Mark Zimmermann

A small man’s monotonous lot
amounts to a rut on a dull map.

A Trump man’s dollar amount
maps a natural surplus.

A small man prompts no plan
to add onto unsold land.

A Trump man puts
a dollar amount on all land,

touts an all-out proposal:
Ad plan     Dollar plan

Trumpland.
Sold.
