my favorite seuss with apologies, with plus indecent additions,

it’s a troublesome world
and all the people who are in it
are troubled by troubles
almost every minute
you better be grateful
a whole heaping lot
for the people and places
you’re lucky you’re not

……..
you are not in afganistan
and you’re far from iraq
you’re not in iran
wearing a black little smock

you are not in gaza,
you’re not in ukraine
Nor are you in syria
Assad, was a pain.

but you’re in the US
with trump as the rein
and just know, I am quite sure
he hasn’t a brain.
it is also quite clear
he has not a clue.
I had prayed for a leader
who would know what to do.

So we all better muster
our resources right now
to help all those we know
to live with this strain.
