MEXICAN TRADE DEAL


“Incredible deal,” “Tremendous thing”
Were the words DJ let fall
About a preliminary trade deal
With neighbor who’s not building a wall

But if you look closely
At the situation
Two problems are evident
That might temper expectation

First, the agreement
Is just preliminary
Congress and Canada
Are hurdles to permanency

Second, despite DJ’s use
Of adjectives galore
The agreement doesn’t really
Change the score

A few adjustments here
A few adjustments there
And what you have
Is change by no more than a hair
