My Twist on Dr. Suess - the "Waiting Place"

 

Short Blog today - just a bit of a twist on some words of wisdom from Dr. Suess (one of my personal favourites).  As quickly as I put this together, one or two sentences have already become "outdated" - since a Vice-Presidential candidate has been selected - and there has been other activity.  Sinwar has also been "elected" (by himself) to lead Hamas and take over for Haniyeh, who died "mysteriously" in Tehran.   I also have to note that I do  not have any official copyright rights to use and twist this poem - but the changed words are all the works of yours truly.  I think this falls within the category of artistic license. 

Back to a longer blog shortly....

The Waiting Place with apologies to Dr. Suess

Waiting for a drone to come
Or a missile to land – we hope in the sand
Or some bombs to come or some planes to run
Or the siren to ring or the dome to ding

Waiting around for a yes or a no
Waiting for Bibi to go or maybe for Beirut to blow
Maybe Tehran will get something we’ll send 
But still waiting and hoping that this war will end

Waiting for the middle of the night
For lights in the air, oh what a sight
Maybe waiting until Friday night
Or Tisha B’Av to start this fight

Or waiting perhaps for our Uncle Joe
To send more weapons and maybe some dough
Or Sinwar to be caught in an underground tunnel
Or Nasrallah to be found in a fiery funnel

Waiting to see who Harris picks
And to see if Türkiye gets into the mix
Waiting for the Houthis to blow themselves up
And for the Saudis to straighten things up

Waiting to watch what Russia will do
And whether Belerus will join in too
Waiting to see if England and France
Will continue to keep up the same stance.

The whole Mideast in a dangerous dance
Hard to see when peace will have a chance
Everyone is just waiting
