Dear Trump
if you won't let Obama
take credit for killing bin Laden
then you certainly shouldn't take credit
for killing Baghdadi
nor should you plug an old book
you probably didn't even write
which merely addresses bin Laden
as a "shadowy figure with no fixed address"
and use it
to credit yourself
with predicting the 9/11 attacks
and giving advice on how to stop it
as you have trouble predicting events
after the fact.
But this poet has no real piece of advice
since you don't listen
except perhaps
to go to more baseball games.
