Two thousand, nine hundred
And seventy-five
Proud Puerto Rican people
Lost their lives
In the aftermath of Maria
Help slowly arrives
And Donald Trump’s arrogance
Is all that survives

When the island’s electricity
Was all but gone
FEMA was much too slow
To respond
And President Trump
Did little more than to yawn
When they started losing hope
And became forlorn

Finally, he was forced
To go down
To ascertain what was happening
On the ground
Though mass confusion is
All that he found
He started throwing paper towels
All around

Never the less take a guess
What he assessed
According to him
FEMA was doing their very best
To get the island back up
On its feet
Despite a different picture
In the street
