America, aw whit ye dain?!
How could ye choose a clueless wain
Ti lead yir country? Who wid trust
A man sae vile?!
A racist, sexist eedjit
Wi a shite hairstyle?
Yet lo, ye votit (michty me!)
Ti hawn’ this walloper the key
Ti pow’r supreme, ti stert his hateful,
Cruel regime.
A cling ti hope that this is aw
Jist wan bad dream.
But naw, the nightmare has come true,
A curse upon rid, white an’ blue,
An’ those who cast oot Bernie
Must feel sitch regret
Fur thinkin’ Mrs. Clinton
Was a safer bet.
So noo we wait ti see unfold
Division an’ intolerance, cold;
A pois’nous bigotry untold
Since Hitler’s rule
As the free world’s hopes an’ dreams
Lie with this fool.
Alas, complainin’ wullnae change
The fact this diddy has free range
Ti ride roughshod ow’r human beings
That fall outside
The cretinous ideals borne of
His ugly pride.
Awch USA, we feel yir woes
An’ pour oor wee herts oot ti those
Who ken this oarange gabshite isnae
Who they chose,
But jist sit tight; Trump’s cluelessness
Will time expose.
Fur sittin’ there beside Obama
Efter the election drama,
Trump looked like reality
Had finally hit:
Aboot the role of president
He knew Jack shit.
Poutin’, glaikit through this farce,
His mooth wis pursed up like an arse,
His Tangoed coupon glowin’ like
A skelped backside.
Despite all his bravado
Trump looked keen ti hide.
Let’s therefur no despair an’ greet,
Or see this outcome as defeat.
Let’s wait an’ watch this bampot
Flap his hawns an’ squirm
When presidential pressures
Crush him like a worm.
Hawd oan ti values you hold dear,
Don’t let this numpty bring yi fear,
His chants of hatred don’t speak fur
The human race.
Love will endure despite this
Oarange-faced disgrace.
So USA, in ma conclusion,
Know we Scots feel your confusion:
We are also chained ti those
Not of oor choosin’.
Stand firm fur unity will break
Through Trump’s delusion.

Egads that’s brilliant. Do Americans get to vote in Scotland’s choice of poet laureate?
Haha!! Aw thanks so much 😄 Of course! (In this case anyway). 😂😂😂😂
Greetings from the states:) I’m not familiar with some of the dialect here…..is it possible to get a translation for those of us across the pond? Thank You:)

America, oh what are you doing?!
How could you choose a clueless child
To lead your country?
Who would trust a man so vile?!
A racist, sexist idiot
With a stupid hairstyle.
Yet, you voted (goodness me!)
To hand this idiot the key
To power supreme, to start his hateful
Cruel regime.
I cling to hope that this is all
Just one bad dream.
But no, the nightmare has come true,
A curse upon red, white and blue,
And those who cast out Bernie
Must feel such regret
For thinking Mrs. Clinton
Was a safer bet.
So now we wait to see unfold
Division and intolerance, cold;
A poisonous bigotry untold
Since Hitler’s rule
As the free world’s hopes and dreams
Lie with this fool.
Alas, complaining will not change
The fact this idiot has free range
To ride roughshod over human beings
That fall outside
The cretinous ideals borne of
His ugly pride.
Oh USA, we feel your woes
An pour our little hearts out to those
Who know this orange idiot isn’t
Who they chose,
But just sit tight; Trump’s cluelessness
Will time expose.
For sitting there beside Obama,
After the election drama,
Trump looked like reality
Had finally hit:
About the role of president
He knew Jack shit.
Pouting, vacant through this farce,
His mouth was pursed up like an arse,
His Tango’d face glowing like
A smacked backside.
Despite all his bravado,
Trump looked keen to hide.
Let’s therefore not despair and cry
Or see this outcome as defeat.
Let’s wait and watch this idiot
Flap his hands and squirm
When presidential pressures
Crush him like a worm.
Hold on to values you hold dear,
Don’t let this idiot bring you fear,
His chants of hatred don’t speak for
The human race.
Love will endure, despite this
Orange-faced disgrace.
So USA, in my conclusion,
Know we Scots feel your confusion:
We are also chained to those
Not of our choosing.
Stand firm, for unity will break
Through Trump’s delusion.
fit bonny so it wis, over here upside down, I live in SF, lived in Scotland for 32 yrs, Be well, love you stuff
Aww upside down!! Haha, aw thanks so much. I appreciate that 😊
Lorna, I wrote a comment on the Twa Fannies thinking it was by you. If that was a mistake, I apologize because I think A Scot’s Lament is just as brilliant.
Haha, aw don’t worry! That was by me!
As an old, embarrassed American, I thank you from the bottom of my old, embarrassed heart. I absolutely love your poem.
Aww Carl, thank you!! No need to be embarrassed as long as America keeps protesting against this vile man.
It really smacks you in the gob to have a creeping cretin like him put into power by a minority of the people. It’s a coup of the ignoble.
Well done, Lorna, I salute your perspicacity! LIke most Canadians, I’m a mixed breed; you make me proud of my Scots half.
Thanks Tom! Haven’t written anything on here for a while but will hopefully have something new before the year’s out. 😄
As an American, I have to say that your ode is PRICELESS, and sadly, very true.
Thanks Diana!! ☺️ Yeah… I should actually write a follow-up to this one – he’s a constant source of poetic inspiration 😩😂
