$21T as in Trillion

$21T is a goodly sum,

Not one you'd keep in your purse.

But I am here to tell you today

Something 'bout it important, in verse.


Twenty-one trillion was the amount

Of which the US was in debt.

But that has now been paid in full!

"The devil!" you say. Well, you bet.


The money from somewhere in Hong Kong came.

The givers don't seem to be hurting.

It's incredible to us, the common folk

The amounts with which some folks are flirting.


And yet this is true I promise you.

Someday it will all come out

That this movie you're watching is all a fake.

The truth'll be seen - no doubt.

The money was actually transferred back in 2017. Check out this 2019 article at Forbes. Strange amount, wouldn't you say?
