In the Pacific Ocean between California
and Hawaii, hundreds of miles from any
major city, plastic bottles, children’s
toys, broken electronics, abandoned fishing
nets and millions more fragments of debris
are floating in the water — at least 87,000 tons’
worth, researchers said Thursday.
The Ocean decided one day
To make messy mankind sure pay
For all of their trash,
So made a big splash
And flooded Bangkok to Marseilles.
The W.T.O. fancies itself a United Nations
for global commerce, a place where its 164
member nations convene to hash out clear
rules of engagement, seeking to defuse conflict.
But as the United States and China, the two largest
economies on earth, edge closer to a trade war,
the organization established in 1995 to prevent
such hostilities appears increasingly impotent.
There once was a global cartel
That ruled how to buy and to sell.
But Trump and Jinping
Have stepped in the ring
To spar, sending world trade to hell.
John Bolton’s appointment as national
security adviser seems to many around
the world to represent President Trump
unbound, and they are trying to puzzle out
what exactly that means.
With Bolton now driving the bus
There won’t be too much to discuss.
Korea, Iran,
Still need a hit man;
But Mitt Romney won’t let him cuss.
There was an old hawk name of John
Who didn’t like words, only brawn.
He got a new job
Within the Trump mob,
To wield a big scary baton.
