Dictator Monooly with Aunt and Uncle

Cover of Planet of the Blind....man and dog....

Aunt and Uncle History are playing
Dictator Monopoly—
Instead of streets
They have countries
Rawanda, Cambodia,
Soviet Union
There’s plenty of space
Germany, Chile,
North Korea
Ye Olde Yugoslavia
They roll the dice
Aunt History lands on Trumpistan
They both laugh
She has a “get out of jail free” card
“That was a close one,” she says
“Better wash your hands,” Uncle says
“You don’t know where that card has been…”
