Not for Sale

by Bruce Bennett

“Anders Vistisen, a Danish member of the European Parliament, told President Donald
Trump to ‘f*** off,’ in response to Trump touting the idea of buying Greenland.”

Let’s hear it for the Danish.
Plain speaking’s for the Dane.
Greenland’s been theirs eight hundred years,
and theirs it will remain.

And here’s one Dane who says so,
Who speaks up for their land,
and uses words— a few at least—
that Trump can understand.
