I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island
and which
you were probably
assuming
did not export goods
forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

penguins wade through icy surf,
tariffs touch them not.
Thank you—I needed that laugh!!
Emperor of Heard Island.
BUT, IT GOES DEEPER and I cracked the code on their new tariffs.
The OBAMAS! Trump is mad they've been thick with penguins. Signed a mega book deal with them, greeted the Pittsburgh @penguins, etc.
🇪🇺🇦🇹
Had me distracted
I saw Dead Queen Liz- the way that she acted
When I wore that same tux. (Cost me 4 thousand bucks!)
And what did *I*get-
besides chafed and upset?
So I found a way
to make those penguins pay for taking me back in my mind
to the tux rash on my behind!
But he actually tariffs us, in our demand for the manifold products of Heard Is. I suspect that the penguins will be indifferent.
a reciprocal tarriff
on an icy island
beside the black and white penguins.
"Right Marco? *hehe*
Yes
Marco would love
to put tariffs on those
little
shiny
penguin pebbles
Little Marco's
little pebbles..."
Who was an industrious bird
Her wares she did send
To America without end
Till Trump said the magic tariff word
To buy our feathers & eggs & some
One day when this BS is done
They'll take their tarifs and go 🎶
A world economy he went and wrecked;
Tariffs went up and the DOW dipped low;
And golf you idiot, golf.
scans better
How does your garden grow?

First time I've laughed in two days.
Thank you.
trade wars are easy to win?
the decline begins
I only recall one:
Enter…
Exist…
Exit…
My brain has a poetry reading voice and it put that on and it also excitedly shouted the other poem over it so that i had to keep starting over
Some companies use this loophole for tariff and tax avoidance.
Long-term plans for fish exports,
Shattered now by Trump.
And the thread is great fun.
And sorry I could not tariff both
And be one traveler, long I tariffed
And tariffed down one as far as I could
To where it economically wrought destruction in the undergrowth.
-Tariff E. Frost
(Again, not a poet)
Tariffs slapped like tweets—
Great again, said the orange man.
Your bills? Just got big.
so this is a haiku courtesy of internet…)
Empty shores taxed high,
waves pay tribute to no one—
paper laws drift by.

and flightless birds,
I saw the figure 10%
in gold
on an orange
"You're Fired!" truck
moving
tense
unheeded
to penguin squawks
and uninhabited howls
and the unreal rumbling
through Heard Island.
upon
a 45% tariff
rate
levied on two
islands
populated only
by penguins.
The penguin on top of the telly now explodes.
First Pepperpot: “How did he know that was going to happen?!”
TV Announcer: “It was an inspired guess.”
(Monty Python)
Hence the silly tariffs on goods from uninhabited islands 😂😂
#TrumpTariffs
You can't make this stuff up!
😆😂🤣
As the gates are mine to close
And I set my house in order
Said Our Lady of the Snows,”
That’s the wrong way, Your Emperorship!
What’s the problem? Kipling not racist enough these days?
No sir. I mean, maybe, but you’re supposed to point *north*
Though wearing a tux.
Just kept on ignoring me,
And ignoring me sucks.
