“In Japan, Trump’s Pearl Harbor Joke Elicits Scorn and Dismay”
—The New York Times

A joke about Pearl Harbor?
Hey, lighten up! Who cares?
The past is long since done with,
and passing time repairs

The things we cannot change now,
like outrage, death, and War.
So let’s all just indulge now
the Bully and the Bore.
