Words count but can be misconstrued
Like “quid pro quo” means this for that
A puppy dog gives love for food
A lady buys a lovely hat
What Trump put forth: no pro, no quid
It’s called extortion normally
No arms until V’lod does Trump’s bid
One of the forms of bribery
A bribe: you tell the maitr d’
“Five hundred for a table near
The President, where he may be.”
His conversations you might hear
The maitre d’ says, “Sorry, sir,
A seating near the President
We can’t allow; would cause a stir.”
But still a bribe was made and meant
A bribe’s a bribe based on intent
The same is so when one extorts
Success or not’s irrelevant
You’re still convicted by the court
