Band-Aid

Band_Aid, Bob Geldof, limerick, poem, poetry

Oh crap! It’s that time of the year,
And Band-aid is back into gear.
Will Sir Bob get a gong
For this latest sad song?
It’ll sell just like hot cakes, I fear.

The murdered, they number a score
This time, but there soon will be more.
This isn’t an act
Of a few, it’s a fact:
They are numerous, and – this is war.

Have the Irish gone soft in the head?
With Hillary, getting in bed!
This non-Irish female
(I read in an email)
Has recently run out of cred.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Bibi netanyahu, limerick, New York Times, poem, poetry

The Times of New York is downcast.
The horse it had backed came in last.
But Bibi the stallion,
(To it, a rapscallion)
He raced to a win fair and fast.

The Hunters

Far across the sands that shimmer
In the dry bed of the stream,
Distant sheets of water glimmer,
Hazy like mirages simmer,
Blue like jewels, with promise gleam.

By the banks the hunters waiting
For the burning sun to wane.
Destiny they are creating,
Primal needs the young men sating,
As the ancient ways ordain.

By their sides their weapons bearing,
Warriors now in their prime.
To the distant waters staring,
Through the heat-haze hot and glaring,
Waiting for the killing time.

P.C. Rules

limerick, poem, poetry, Political Correctness

You must lie when the truth may offend.
To be tolerant, always pretend.
To all group think submit,
And the ones who don’t fit?
Please make sure those you never befriend.

Twits

Left Liberals, limerick, poem, poetry, Twitter, Twittersphere

In the café latte Twittersphere,
Where the lefties all bluster and sneer;
Where the chattering classes
Talk out of their arses
It’s trendy to be a bit queer.

Ali Khamenei, Iran Nuclear ambitions, limerick, poem, poetry, Supreme Leader of Iran

Hold nuclear talks with Iran?
Obama’s just kicking the can
Down the road for a while,
And Khamenei’s wry smile? –
Supreme Leaders, they stick to a plan.

Burning Desire

He said:”I’m a man, not a mouse!
I wish to take you for my spouse!”
“Oh yes please!” said she.
Elated, then he
Proceeded to burn down the house.

Can’t see the Connection

Tags

limerick, poem, poetry

Now the murderous Boko Haram,
They have sounded another alarm,
For these Muslims confess
That they’ve joined with IS.
(This has nothing to do with Islam.)

They scream “Allahu akbah!” it’s true,
When they’re killing a Christian or Jew,
And it’s five times a day,
Facing Mecca they pray,
But from Islam they don’t take their cue.

So by now it should be crystal clear:
That from Islam you’ve nothing to fear.
A case open and shut.
You thought otherwise? – But,
Things are not always as they appear.
