Asimina Triloba
I discover is not self-fertile
no fruit for me.

The President begs not for our pardon
nor indeed will beg for anything at all,
As the historic White House Rose Garden
is indicative of his country's fall.
As bare as his delight in all the arts
(except for those depicting him as hero)
he has the green lawns bulldozed as he starts
and wins the great aesthetic score of zero.
The whole expanse is concreted and paved
eradicates the history of a century
and all the changing tastes of those who craved
a testament of the presidential tree.
At least it leaves the White House gardens short
of the ecologic disaster he has brought.
