Trump Took His Lumps in Flint

Flint pastor broke into Trump's speech
Words were deemed to be overreach
Her people aren't fodder
The focus is water
Don't need a political leech

Don started to shade Hillary
Assumed that's the way it should be
Pastor gave finger wag
Did not want to nag
But warned Trump that this ain't DC

Crowd started to go in on him
Their patience was wearing thin
Asked Don about Birther
Not allowed to go further
Rescued from the wrath of Flint

This is the first time that we know
Trump addressed Blacks he didn't control
They weren't shrinking violets
Refused to be quiet
Or follow him down rabbit hole

Don had whole lot to answer for
Rarely met Blacks on their own shore
Trump promised jobs
With a wink and a nod
Sold that same line to Mexican labor

So Donald took some hard lumps
Not the easiest of campaign stumps
Turned down Urban League
Shaded NAACP
Paid a price for sitting on his rump
