An emergent exemplum inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer\u2019s The Pardoners Tale written between 1387 and 1400. The Pardoner says the theme of his sermon is \u201cRadix malorum est cupiditas,\u201d \u201cGreed is the root of all evil.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

BEYOND BIGLY PARDON: THE DONALD\u2019S TALE<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

You know they will believe whatever I say<\/p>\n

As I rake in more money day after day<\/p>\n

I sell junk for greenbacks in perpetuity<\/p>\n

Never fail to grab every single gratuity<\/p>\n

Watch me gab and grab from rally to rally<\/p>\n

Skipping policy talk forward I must sally<\/p>\n

Picking up more votes in blue states again<\/p>\n

Is my main strategy I do not lie in vain<\/p>\n

I want more money Russian rubles and gold<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll make any deal that results in something sold<\/p>\n

In fact I have got a few towers up for sale<\/p>\n

Buy a few bring a good conclusion to my tale<\/p>\n

Delay the trials until my first term is beginning<\/p>\n

That is all I have to say I know I am winning.<\/p>\n

IN THE EMPIRE STATE OF PARODY and SATIRE<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

I have to laugh just to keep myself from crying<\/p>\n

D.J.T.\u2019s latest Bible grift led to parody and satire<\/p>\n

Selling sneakers and Bibles his campaign dying<\/p>\n

Using the funds to pay plenty lawyers in his hire<\/p>\n

D.J.T. Delay Justice Trump in a bigly slump<\/p>\n

Delay after delay and appeal after appeal<\/p>\n

Using Evangelicals as a bigly money pump<\/p>\n

Separation of church and state for him not real<\/p>\n

His wife at home with a four-month-old child<\/p>\n

Trump paying a porn star in NY going wild<\/p>\n

After hush money charges his indictments enlarged<\/p>\n

Guilty of grift tax fraud and lying Guilty as charged<\/p>\n

Trump will be tried in NYC near his Trump Tower<\/p>\n

The nation eagerly awaits the great day and the hour.<\/p>\n
