The "P" Word--Parts I & II
Part I
So Melania Trump PLAGIARIZED
Parts of Michelle Obama's speech.
Must her own, original address
Be totally out of reach?
If Donald Trump subscribes to the theory
That plagiarism doesn't matter, he
Now will have to come out and say
That imitation's the best form of flattery.

Part II
Although Mrs. Trump had elicited
Help for writing her convention address,
When asked earlier, she claimed she had written
Most of what she was going to express.
Taking parts of an earlier speech
By Michelle Obama to plagiarize
Might fool many, but you cannot pull
The wool over everyone's eyes.
The Trumps have provided a few excuses.
Trump's not seeking tit for tat
And claims he wants to avoid a witch hunt.
But his Party is so GOOD at that!
