Guess who

His leadership style's helter-skelter
He won't give those refugees shelter
But in spite of the noise
It's just jobs for the boys
And his country has been dealt a kelter

Author Notes
Today's word: kelter (n.) a hand of cards of little value or use.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
