Numb. 1170 Darn Old Remembers

Donald J. Trump suggested in a radio interview on Monday that he had visited war-torn Gaza in the past, a place there is no record of him visiting. When asked to clarify, a campaign aide said that Gaza is “in Israel” and that Mr. Trump has visited Israel. The New York Times

To Gaza I have been before.

Played the course. 

I guess it was before the war.

I had loads of fun.

Eighteen holes-in-one.

Now they say my great mind’s like a sieve.


I can feel the breeze 

in that Gaza town.

I recall I heard dogs bark

each time I played a round.

My golf ball soars

soon as I yell “Fore”.

Now they say my great mind’s like a sieve.


And their empowering feeling

just because they knew I was near.

The applause, the waving, the cheering

as I shift my golf cart to passing gear.


It is so unfair. It still bothers me.

The mem’ry of my trip is such a part of me.

Let the facts deny. It is not a lie.

Just that my great big mind's like a sieve.
