Meryl Streep Criticised Donald Trump

As you are aware I get what I call my inspiration, if that’s the word, for my poems from news items and a comment by Meryl Streep at the recent awards ceremony for actors/actresses /films etc. in America caught my attention. Meryl Streep criticised Donald Trumps! By Stanley R Harris. The new mad Author. We are all great actors in this wide, wild world. Some actors make the limelight and the press hang on to their every word. Jokes made in this day on anyone or anything. Are not for us to moan and groan and say you cannot say that thing. Disabled persons, white, black, man or woman, Brighton landladies as well. All laugh at one another, unless you’re an actor as well. So do your acting you actors/actresses, etc. whoever you pretend you are. But please, leave the jokers alone, as we all do like a laugh. I wonder why you award yourselves with Oscar masks so bright. As I wonder how many takes it takes, to get your scene just right. Do you not laugh on or off the set? Do you moan and groan each day? Just leave the jokers you don’t like, don’t laugh at them I say. I have been in a wheelchair, on crutches two as well. And now I have a walking stick with a hooter not a bell. And bless, that gets a blinking laugh and I’m pleased to tell. When I see those people laugh at me, well bless, I blinking laugh as well. We all are actors in a way, some of us not so well known. But honest if you can make folk laugh, that’s better than greeting a drone. As if receiving one of them, you might not have a home. So if Mr. D Trump when he’s president can make Mr V Putin laugh. And world peace can be started, who then has the last laugh?
