Today on Ha Long Bay where fish boats sail
We met South Africans, Australians, Vietnamese
Although from different continents they hailed
They had one thing in common, if you please
Who is this Donald Trump, they’d ask and grin
And how could you Yanks nominate this bloke?
It’s scaring half the world that he might win
The other half considers him a joke
What could I say? This is democracy
Our Congress has been grid locked, now, for years
Trump shook Republican complacency
Appealing to the people’s vail of tears
Inside the States we’re caught up in this race
We cannot see the forest for the trees
But stand-back looking from a distant place
Absurdity describes what others see
