Come on, give Brussels a call.
It’s really not scary at all.
Though some are in pieces
The fun never ceases;
In Brussels they’re having a ball.

Brussels is a safe city

Islamic immigration –
No more the need to roam
And face a foreign nation –
We now fight wars at home

Oh Brussels! – come and see it
Before it turns to dust.
Before the natives flee it;
It’s beautiful – you must!

Its history, its glory;
Come quickly – it won’t last.
Its future? – ghastly – gory;
We’re selling out – real fast!

60 minutes assaulted in Sweden, Australian traditional poetry, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

The vestiges of Viking pride
Have wilted and withered and died.
Once warriors proud
Submit to the shroud;
The Swedes commit slow suicide.

60 minutes team beaten up

Australian double dissolution, Australian traditional poetry, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Once again folks we’re off to the polls,
As democracy’s broken bell tolls.
It’s a zero-sum game;
Parties are much the same –
All their policies are full of holes.

Snap Election

limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, Pablo Picasso, poem, poetry

While he may be a postmodern saint,
Leonardo Da Vinci he ain’t.
He was technically crap
So he popularized pap,
For Picasso – he just couldn’t paint.

Angela Merkel, Australian traditional poetry, Invasion of Germany, Islamic infiltration, Islamic State, Islamization, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Syrian refugees

Frau Merkel? True – not a class act.
Yes, leadership Germany lacked.
She ignored the debate
As she opened the gate;
The Germans fled – Berlin was sacked.

Revisionist Reading

Australian traditional poetry, Friedrich Nietzsche, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

I’m surprised how the lefties love Nietzsche,
The son of a proud Prussian preacher,
For he hated the herd,
So I find it absurd –
He was hardly a socialist creature.

It’s sad, but I think it’s too late.
Contented to be second-rate,
Like most in the West,
They fear being best;
The yanks are too scared to be great.

Calpurnia’s Plea

Australian traditional poetry, Calpurnia Pisonis, Julius Caesar, poem, poetry, The Ides of March

Avoid the Senate on these Ides
Of March, my Julius dear.
Each senator your name derides
And treachery they whisper in each ear.
Their loyalties move like the tides;
And to a low the sea recedes, I fear.
