All is changed, Donald Trump has written a sonnet

All is changed, changed utterly,

Donald Trump has written a sonnet

and has sent it to President Putin for editing.

It is believed that he and Putin will discuss Akhmatova

and Pasternak in a phonecall this Wednesday

while also spending time discussing the script;

plans are believed to be in place for a series of readings

involving Presidents Xi, Erdogan and Jair Bolsonaro.

‘My sonnet is very beautiful’, the president remarked;

‘in fact, maybe the most beautiful, including Shakespeare,

I’m not sure.’ And how impressed is the president

with Maya Angelou, asked a CNN reporter:

‘Not muchly’, came the terse reply.
