Excited, Trump is telling us that
Iran has opened the Strait of Hormuz.
In his rambling, deranged manner,
He couldn't wait to share the news.
But wait. The Strait of Hormuz was open
Before Trump started his senseless war.
Because of the huge mess he made,
We're worse off than we were before.
Thanks to Trump and Netanyahu,
Many innocent lives have been lost.
If anything at all was achieved,
It was done so at a great cost.
Trump has boasted that now Iran
Has undergone a change of regime.
Yes, that's true. Unfortunately,
The newer one is MORE extreme.
The death and destruction and rising prices--
Because Trump has shaken his fist--
Have put the U.S. close to the top
Of the world's "Countries Most Hated" list.
Whether the Strait of Hormuz stays open,
Now is anybody's guess.
One thing we know: if people suffer,
Donald Trump couldn't care less.
Trump will start a destructive blaze,
After which he'll stand and shout,
"Fire!" and hope that he can get
Credit for putting the fire out.
