Adjectives

Ponzi, Madoff, Quisling, and Trump as names all will be
Adjectives describing criminal duplicity
Ponzi’s already describes schemes that are pyramidal
So maybe Madoff won’t be used as much for the same fiddle
And Quisling’s describes treason but for grifting there’ll not be
A more descriptive name than Trump to fit scams to a T.

Only Trump alone writes books on “The Art of the Scam”
Every day another chapter is penned by the man
Who although he reads and writes at less than first grade level
Deserves an honorary doctorate as scam’s daredevil
Because not only can he fleece he cult for all they’re got
But then gets them lined up again to put more in his pot.

So sorry, Bernie, but your name you probably won’t see
Gain as much fame as Ponzi’s has and Trump’s is soon too be
Both Ponzi and collaborator Quisling are descriptive
Of what crimes can be when pursued without morals restrictive
But Trump’s will soon surpass both as one adjective intended
To describe when both scams and treason become crimes well-blended.
