Canute stood on the shore and drew a line in the sand
The tide rolled in and ole Canute could not stand
and stay dry, so he stepped away and said
“O pride of men will make men dead.”
Old DjT took his magic marker
and drew (o, so proud) hurricane lines a lot darker
than any toe mark in the dirt
but which proved to be Dorian’s mere skirt!
But it wasn’t his lie-line that made the world starker,
But his pride that he, not Dory, was a better harker.
Such is the incorrigible pride of this dirty old flirt.
Appologies to everyone USA citizen to whom this also occurred. Perhaps your verse is less adverse?
