Sorry, all you contestants who submitted quotations from Donald Trump in the first day of the Hyperbole of the Day contest. Trump hyperboles, which once were worth a dime a dozen, have fallen in value to a dime a gross - and many of them are indeed gross.
And so, THE WINNER IS –
Peter H. Burian
The award is for this passage from W.H. Auden “As I walked out one Evening”:
‘I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street,”
There’s more to the poem, of course, and irony, too. “Tons more,” as any good hyperbolist would say.
Keep trying, aspiring hyperbolists! The contest continues.
