In Switzerland, where snow-capped mountains are found;
Where chocolates and fine wrist watches abound,
And cheeses have holes,
Nags are having strange foals;
Swiss people had better stop horsing around.

Margaret Thatcher? Oh man what a bitch!
I protested against her – the witch!
What a cruel ruthless cow –
A destroyer!……..Me now?
Well, I’m middle class, happy, and rich.

affirmative action, australian formal poetry, Australian traditional poetry, discrimination, Formal poetry, poem, poetry, racism

There’s been a ban placed on discrimination;
One mustn’t gauge one’s fellow man by race,
By colour, creed or perceived reputation.
To do so will bring censure and disgrace.

He needs a job but there’s discrimination;
The ad says: must be of a certain race.
They care not for his skills or reputation;
Discrimination – it’s a damned disgrace.

Positive discrimination – an oxymoron….?

Australian traditional poetry, ISIS, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Don’t condemn, but praise ISIS instead
Of counting the thousands of dead.
Find joy in their killing,
The graves they are filling,
And celebrate each severed head.

australian formal poetry, Brussels lock-down, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Its citizens all wear a frown,
For Brussels is tense and locked-down.
With no drawbridge or moat
The fifth columnists gloat;
They’re poised to take over the town.

We wage now the mother of wars!
The kafirs we slaughter in scores!
Jews, Christians, we kill!
But give me strength! – Still
Our message Obama ignores!

“A sham!” Francis says with a scowl.
“With the world all at war, it is foul
To have joy – celebrations,
In our Christian nations.”
The Pontiff has thrown in the towel.

Applicants eager and bright
Are needed to join in the fight
For all oppressed races.
(We’ve quite a few places)
P.S. Don’t apply if you’re white.

The migrants it seems are superior
In morals – the natives inferior.
So it’s been decided
(As they’re so divided)
To send all the Germans to Syria.

“We have them contained!” Barack thundered.
‘Who is this fool?’ jihadists wondered.
In Paris and Brussels
ISIS flexed its muscles.
Obama, once more, badly blundered.
