\u201cStupid\u201d \u201cLoser\u201d Says The Deal Master<\/strong><\/p>\n

So who is smarter than you Donald Trump?
\nWho is a better deal maker in all 50 states?
\nSolving campaign problems = your personal money pump
\nNo campaign reform needed or $100 dollar plates
\nYou are all alone on your golden throne
\nStrictly no PACS, a private money user
\nGood for you, get it all gone and blown
\nCareful though you might wind up a loser
\nOn foreign policy you are grasping at straws
\nWhat\u2019s so wrong making deals with China?
\nBlubbering babble continues from your jaws
\nAbout women\u00a0candidates looks and their vagina
\nGo back to real estate where you are the master
\nYour campaign bluster and bombast is a disaster<\/p>\n

And two to go for YoYo: a rap\/sonnet for YoYo Ma\u2019s 60th birthday on Oct. 7, 2015.<\/em>
\n\u00a0
\nYo YOYO
\ngo go mo & mo
\ncello
\nyou\u2019re a
\nmellow fellow
\nMa
\nbeautiful bowing
\nyou have have *(yo yo)
\na horse*(ma)
\nof course
\nbetween your legs
\nyou ride it
\nwith a bow
\nwe know<\/p>\n

\u00a0*In Mandarin\/Putonghua \u2018yo\u2019 can mean \u2018have\u2019 and \u2018ma\u2019 can mean \u2018horse\u2019. Here is a modern sonnet for YoYo Ma\u2019s 60th birthday, Oct. 7.<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\nYo, Ma YoYo*
\nmore and more por favor
\nGO GO GO GO
\ntake care of muscles sore
\nplease Mister Yoyo Ma
\nkeep it up serious and mellow
\nwe thank your Ma and Pa
\nplease do not stop bowing that cello
\nsolo on J.S. Bach\u2019s cello suites
\nand all along the desert Silk Road
\nAfrican and Appalachian treats
\nTan Dun\u2019s Tigers and Dragons all explode
\nxie xie for taking all those different directions
\nlooking forward to more musical resurrections<\/p>\n
