Theresa May's US Visit Prompts People To Pen Poems About Her And Donald Trump

There's even a Carly Rae Jepsen tribute in there.

Britons have watched with interest as Theresa May prepares to meet with Donald Trump today for the first time since both came to power.

The British PM stepped up her charm offensive as she hailed Trump’s election as US President as a chance to “renew the special relationship”.

But there have been tensions as May warned that the UK will not condone torture of detainees “in any way” - just hours after it emerged that Trump plans a review of US interrogation policies including reintroducing waterboarding.

The historic meeting has provoked many strong reactions among Brits - but perhaps the most creative way that people have dealt with their feelings around May’s visit has been to pen poems.

Many concerned the NHS...

To Add To Our Distress
She'll Find The Highest Bidder
To Flog Our NHS#PoemsAboutTrumpAndMay

Theresa went to White House
The lifts & showers were gold
She did a deal, Trump had a feel
And then the #NHS was sold

Theresa May went to the USA
To find trading success
Donald Trump recognised a chump
And stole the NHS#PoemsAboutTrumpAndMay

She wants to trigger Brexit
He wants to build a wall
Now Dumb & Dumber meet
And between them screw us all

Some referenced Trump’s groping of women...

Theresa's meeting Donald
She plans to make a deal
But the orange one's not interested
Just hopes to cop a feel#PoemsAboutTrumpAndMay

Brits won't mind
if you let him grab you
But if you sell the NHS
My nan might stab you#PoemsAboutTrumpAndMay

This Carly Rae Jepsen tribute particularly stood out...

"Hey, I just met you.
And we're both a bit crazy.
But you can have a trade deal
Theresa, maybe"#PoemsAboutTrumpandMay

While some people didn’t seem too concerned about rhyme scheme or iambic pentameter...

We're fucked,
We're fucked,
We're really, really fucked#PoemsAboutTrumpAndMay

May is due to hold a press conference alongside Trump Friday following their meeting.

But announcing details of the meeting, the White House repeatedly referred to the PM as “Teresa May”

To make matters worse, Teresa May with no ‘h’ is the name of a porn star who appeared in the video for Prodigy’s Smack My Bitch Up.
