When I Was a Kid...

(This poem could be sung to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan's "When I Was a Lad," from the H.M.S. PINAFORE. There are grammatical irregularities for obvious reasons.😉)

 

TRUMP:

When I was a kid, I learned from Dad

To stay on top and to never get had.

I learned the pleasures that our wealth could bring,

And he often called me "killer" and he called me "king."

 

SYCOPHANTS:

And he often called him "killer" and he called him "king."

 

TRUMP:

Since Daddy called me "king" it really helped somehow

For me to be the ruler of the country now.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

Since Daddy called him "king" it really helped somehow

For him to be the ruler of the country now.

 

TRUMP:

I learned quite fast. My goal? Get rich quick!

Some fraud can be a plus, for it does the trick.

I got my way, or I would come unglued.

And if people gave me problems, piece of cake: I sued.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

And if people gave him problems, piece of cake: he sued.

 

TRUMP:

I grew so rich and famous that the crowds said "Wow!"

So therefore I'm the ruler of the country now.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

He grew so rich and famous that the crowds said "Wow!"

So therefore he's the ruler of the country now.

 

TRUMP:

I learned very quickly all the tricks of the trade:

A boss saves money if folks aren't paid.

I learned so fast how to crush dissent,

And I SOON became an unrelenting president.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

And he SOON became an unrelenting president.

 

TRUMP:

Since ALL my fans adore me, I will take a bow.

They like that I'm the ruler of the country now.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

Since ALL his fans adore him, he will take a bow.

They're happy he's the ruler of the country now.

 

TRUMP:

A manifesto that is helping me survive

Is known as Project 2025.

Oh, the project helps expand my role:

I'm a president who wants complete control.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

He's a president who wants complete control.

 

TRUMP:

And so criticism I won't allow

Because I am the ruler of the country now.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

And so criticism he won't allow

Because he is the ruler of the country now.

 

TRUMP:

For admin teams, it makes no sense

To put TOO much emphasis on competence.

They MUST be loyal and kowtow to you,

And support you when you're asking "What would Putin do?"

 

SYCOPHANTS:

And support you when you're asking "What would Putin do?"

 

TRUMP:

My DEAR friend Putin is the cat's meow.

He helped me be the ruler of the country now.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

His DEAR friend Putin is the cat's meow.

He helped him be the ruler of the country now.

 

TRUMP:

So all out there, please listen to my plea:

If you WANT to get to the top just like me,

You should toss out your conscience, be as cold as ice,

And never say you're wrong or be contrite or nice.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

And never say you're wrong or be contrite or nice.

 

TRUMP:

If YOU'RE more like me--yes, holier than thou--

Then you could all be rulers just like I am now.

 

SYCOPHANTS:

If WE'RE more like him--yes, holier than thou--

Then we could all be rulers just like he is now.

Hi Bob,
You have written beautiful conversation, i liked the dialogues not fully understand though, because when i read some thing it makes me divert when i dont understand totally,

But was curious, Putin he is back listing his tactics making him throw out, i dont know what he is trying to get a piece of land by facing war, the Hague will give justice i am not sure will he listen to them, whole world left him alone, and India china are spreading hands, does India forgot he is behaving like terrorist?

I dont know i need your feedback on this, do we need to support for our oil requirement, i am more worried about in UKRAINE. This must be addressed soon.

Please help me..

I like India to not to support Russia. I know people in Russia will get hurt with his intentions...

Hello,
Putin is an aggressor. He won’t stop with just a couple pieces of Ukraine. I wish all countries would put pressure on him to pull out of Ukraine and leave the country alone.
Trump and his idiotic supporters are transforming the U.S. into an autocracy. They don’t care what the majority of people think; they have their own insidious agenda.
Do you live in Europe?

I know why you are asking this question, I too guessed the same, if we feel scare that he is killing pr and he won't stop, then it's our stupidity and I am also requesting india not to support russia but who is listening. Atleast usa is throwing options I think stopping russia is just one simple make the country black list whole world stop him being so.
I see people around us few are same. Few eat brain like how he is throwing bombs and few scare like Modi if we stop putin how to survive. I don't know previous president didn't do anything because war started in 2014, people neglected Ukraine thinking she will survive but the country was facing bombs, I still believe good things prevail and win ultimately. Everything needs time . Things may come little late from God because he cures the reason or disease instead of preventing..
It does take time. I am ready to starve skipping lunch on behalf of India to protect ukraine from the hands of Russia.

Really speaking why USA need to stop war any human being can support ukraine and stop putin .it doesn't usa itself.. if China Japan europe and USA unite together will definitely war will end .. I know in 10 yrs putin does too if no union is made ...
