A Room of My Own: MAGA Hat Tanka

written on April Fool's Day

my neighbor
drains a small swamp
in his backyard
the MAGA hat he wears
bigger than his head

Note: MAGA stands for "Make America Great Again," a campaign slogan used in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

  1. We will drain the swamp in Washington, D.C., and replace it with a new government, of, and by, and for the people.

    -- Donald Trump


    Drain the swamp is a phrase which since the 1980s has frequently been used by American politicians. The phrase alludes to the historical draining of swamps to keep mosquito populations low to combat malaria.
