Talk the Plank

Trump’s great plans for harmony
around the middle east
have just been put to test by
the Ethiopian beast.
Their huge hydropower dam,
upstream on the Blue Nile,
will block the flow to two countries
downstream in a short while.
Trump, of course, looked deep
into his magic tea leaves cup,
and said, no joke, that Egypt
will just have to blow it up.
That damned dam is ruining
his peace plans with Sudan.
And to save negotiations,
he’ll do all he can.
Maybe he’ll send Seals
to help out with the detonation.
That’s if any survived
“fake” Bin Lad assassination.
Israel-Sudan engagement’s
top priority.
And blowing up the dam would please
his new close friend, Bibi.
So, Egypt, use your great explosives.
Liberate the river.
Damn the Ethiopians.
Make their timbers shiver.
