“Letters from Donald” by Trevor Witt
Dear Mr. Orban,
How do you deflect criticisms that the fake news throws at you?
Dear Donald,
By blaming the deep state, academics, and a cabal of Jews.
Dear Mohammed bin Salman,
How did you get away with murdering a U.S.-based journalist and prominent members of a religious minority?
Dear Donald,
For the first one, I said it was a rogue operation and for the rest I claimed anti-terrorism authority.
Dear Mr. Duterte,
How did you get away with killing thousands en masse without trials?
Dear Donald,
I accused them of drug dealing and ran with that for miles.
Dear Putin,
Why did you help me win the presidency?
Dear Donald,
Because you asked me and it was shown on national TV!
Dear Kim Jong Un,
I want everyone to like me. Why don’t they like me?
Dear Donald,
It’s okay to be hated and lonely.
Dear Kim Jong Un,
Thanks for understanding. I wish we could just throw everyone is prison camps.
Dear Donald,
Now you are beginning to understand. Wishing you all the best, Gramps!
“Ben Carson’s Ditty” by Trevor Witt
I’m a HUD Secretary and I don’t care
If kids are made homeless or left in foster care.
I’m a HUD Secretary and I don’t know
What the definition is of an REO!
I’m HUD Secretary and I want it,
A custom table where I can sit.
I don’t care how much it costs,
Or even whether my soul is lost.
I am a HUD Secretary and I’m the best,
In Trump’s cabinet, which is such a mess!
For some, words do not matter, but words can change the world. Add an “l” to a word and the world is yours. Use your worlds carefully, wisely, earnestly, and often.
