(CAN WE PLEASE GO BACK IN TIME &) MAKE THE GREAT LAKES GREAT AGAIN

by Ron Riekki

For the longest time, the Great Lakes have been

Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior, a bond

between US and Canada that affectionately became

abbreviated to H.O.M.E.S.  But now, to bend

that bond, eerily, the inferior (five-letter too) named

President wants to change it to Superior, Huron,

America, Michigan, Erie, which will from now on

link Trump to the new abbreviation: S.H.A.M.E.
