A lively give and take as three influential men get together and talk. And rap. The words are actual quotes or lyrics of those to whom they are attributed – however this author takes poetic license in the context surrounding the meeting, or even if there was such a meeting.
Slim Shady: Now these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you, fans turn on you.
Donald J. Trump: The media is–really, the word, I think one of the greatest of all terms I’ve come up with–is fake.
W.B. Yeats: If you have revisited the town, thin Shade,
Whether to look upon your monument
(I wonder if the builder has been paid)
Slim Shady:
Just a feeling I’ve got, like something’s about to happen, but I don’t know what
If that means, what I think it means, we’re in trouble, big trouble,
And if he is as bananas as you say, I’m not taking any chances
Trump: Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party.
Yeats: But the gyre is ‘widening’: it is getting further and further away from its centre, its point of origin. In short, it’s losing control, and ‘the centre cannot hold’
Slim Shady, nodding his head to a beat inside his head: You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
Trump: The American public is fed up with the disrespect the NFL is paying to our Country, our Flag and our National Anthem. Weak and out of control!”
Yeats: That is no country for old men. … Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unageing intellect.
Trump: Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,’ when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?’ Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe someday that will happen!”
(The men order another round of drinks. An Amstel Light for Eminem, a rum and Coke for Yeats, and a low-cal virgin strawberry margarita with a Happy Hour $1 pizza slice for Trump. The day workers were getting off work now and filling up the bar.)
