Turnabout

by Bruce Bennett

“Trump says he doesn’t care if he mispronounces Kamala Harris’s name”
The Independent

“I like mispronouncing her name.
With me, it is always the same.
I do as I please
With people like these.
For me, it’s all part of the game.

But wait. What is this? Something’s wrong.
There’s yelling and cheering. A throng
Is laughing. How rude!
It’s I who am booed
And mocked, and they’re playing along!
