Just a damn minute! A solar panel firm
Borrows half a billion from taxpayers
Then goes belly up! Sheesh! That makes us squirm;
But the other tale’s sadder—a slayer.
A billion-two offered for our Dodgers—
Our storied ancient team (dem Bums! bleed Blue!)—
From Chinese sovereign funds. Asian codgers
Want to buy our team—how can this be true?
Dodger dogs replaced by dim sum, soybeans—
Rice wine instead of beer—tailgate parties
Featuring kung pau? Come on! How extreme
Can world trade be? Will moneymaking art
Trump tradition? Free trade? Dear to most hearts!
But Chinese ownership? That really smarts!
