Nursery Rhyme Primed

lillian

Tawny Donny wealthy and sly,
kissed the girls and made them cry.
When they told the world their tales
tawny Donny lost his veils.

    I’m think I’m starting a collection of poems on this topic this NaPoWriMo 2018 🙂 The villain prompt also led me to this person. I haven’t shared it yet.

      As I mentioned, I usually don’t do political satire but just couldn’t resist for this one.
