I introduce a new pilgrim to the Canterbury Tales, in Chaucer style description. Please avoid political debate in the comment section.
The last pilgrim was a rich billionaire,
one who did not frequent the house of prayer.
A hard working man who owned a business,
He would never offer his forgiveness.
For a wealthy man he dressed quite simple,
A shirt and tie – don’t forget the pistol.
No one ever knew why he would wear red,
Some thought it’s reason for what he said.
His golden hair, not fully combed-over,
Implied that his barber was a loafer.
The skin he wore was utterly wrinkled,
The face of racism, which he sprinkled.
In his satchel: money, a comb and hate,
Angry men he met, he would not placate.
A hat he lost of which he did complain,
It read, “Make America Great Again”.
His horse, a mare of which his love was sound,
Unlike the other two, which were put down.
This mare he rode could, too, speak English well,
But the only words she knew were Michelle’s.

Heh, you wrote it? Pretty good, anon, if you did. A defamation/satire like that is more aptly directed at Hillary Clinton, though.

Thanks man. I honestly could've done both, but the majority of people in the world dislike Trump, so I decided to go with him. Maybe I'll do one about Hillary, wouldn't be that hard lol.

Nothing like Chaucer or medieval paintings to remind you that things really haven't changed.
Sure, we have democratic governments, globalized trade, massive country, human rights, technology, science. But at the end of the day, people haven't really changed.
People in Medieval England were just as likely to do what exactly we do, usually really stupid shit.

Agreed. The summoner and the friar are basically Trump and Hillary!

I was thinking about putting it in middle english, but I found it really difficult to keep both rhyming couplets and iambic pentameter. I also didn't want to fuck up the translation.
