JOKE REGARDING DONALD TRUMP

WHAT DID ONE OF DONALD TRUMPS
GUARDS SAY WHEN SOMEONE
TRIED TO SHOOT THE PRESIDENT
ANSWER
"DONALD DUCK !"

LORD ULLIN'S DAUGHTER BY THOMAS CAMPBELL (1777-1844)

A Chieftain to the Highlands bound
Cries, 'Boatman , do not tarry;
And I'll give thee a silver pound
To row us o'er the ferry.'
'Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle,
This dark and stormy water ?'
'Oh! I'm the chief of Ulva's Isle
And this Lord Ullin's daughter.
'And fast before her father's men
Three days we've fled together
For should he find us in the glen,
My blood would stain the heather.
'His horsemen hard behind us ride;
Should they our steps discover,
Then who will cheer my bonny bride
When they have slain her lover?'
Outspoke the hardy Highland wight;
'I'll go my chief I'm ready:
It is not for your silver bright,
But for your winsome lady,
'And by my word, the bonny bird
In danger shall not tarry:
So, though the waves are raging white,
I'll row you o'er the ferry.'
By this the storm grew loud apace,
The water-wraith was shrieking;
And in the scowl of heaven each face
Grew dark as they were speaking
But still, as wilder blew the wind,
And as the night grew dearer
Adown the glen rode armed men-
Their trampling sounded nearer.
'Oh! Haste thee,  haste !' the lady cries
'Though tempests round us gather;
I'll meet the raging of the skies,
But not an angry father.'
The boat has left a stormy land,
A stormy sea before her-
When oh! Too strong for Human hand,
The tempest gathered o'er her.
And still they rowed amidst the roar
Of waters fast prevailing;
Lord Ullin reached that fatal shore,
His wrath was changed to wailing
For sore dismay'd, through storm and shade;
Across this stormy water;
And I'll forgive your highland chief,
My daughter!- oh, my daughter
Twas vain: the loud waves lashed the shore,
Return or aid preventing
The waters wild went o'er his child,
Ad he was left lamenting.
