Australian traditional poetry, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, Lure of the primitive, poem, poetry

The primitive life is a lure –
Simplistic – where troubles seem fewer.
A naive romance
With primeval chance,
And living it – that is the cure.

limerick, poem, poetry

To ensnare the naive infidel,
There are lies that you safely may tell.
It’s pretend blasphemy,
And these falsehoods, you’ll see,
The distrust of the weak will dispel.

Frau Merkel has opened the gate.
Do you think you can stop them? – too late!
Once they are inside
They will patiently hide
Then divide at a logarithmic rate.

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

We are in for the roughest of rides
As the world to catastrophe slides.
Settle down – stay your fears,
And grow up – dry your tears;
Make your choice – there are only two sides.

Hi Hillary! How nice to meet you.
I doubt that old Bern will defeat you,
But don’t be too happy,
That cheerful old chappy,
The Donald, most surely will beat you.

Australian Dairy industry crisis, Australian poet, Barnaby Joyce, John Howard, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Warren Truss

They are selling the milk far too cheap!”
So blusters the ruddy-faced creep.
“And it isn’t our fault!”
‘It’s entirely yours, dolt!
As you sow, stupid, so shall you reap.’

Great Australian Dairy Debacle

So they need an advisor they say.
The criteria – liberal and gay,
With a face that is kind.
(Like a baboon’s behind)
It’s an image that won’t go away!

Australian poet, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Six dozen again? – stocks can’t last!
They order each time there’s a blast!
We’ve lots of abused
And some slightly used,
But virgins are running out fast!

An Obsolete Lyric

Australian poet, poem, poetry

[someone made me do this – they know who they are. A challenge to use 10
particular obsolete words in a poem – needs polish I know.]

In the sun’s soft rays do I apricate;
Was yestreen, my love, that I stayed up late.
‘Twill be overmorrow before I rise
When I’ll miss the gaze of your almond eyes.
Your anagapesis for me I know,
And that loss of love, it has brought me low.
Would you, from your hair, cut a golden lock,
As a memory. (for your ex-bawcock)
But I fear I sound like a blatteroon;
Like an aeolist who bays at the moon.
As a madman strolls in the midnight dew,
And with walking stick does the toads spanghew,
Now potvaliant, in the grip of drink,
Satisdiction done – into sleep I sink.

Australian poet, Australian traditional poetry, Jack Nicklaus endorses Trump, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

The best golfer God ever made.
He conquered each course with his blade.
An honourable man;
He backs Donald’s plan.
Another knight joins the crusade.

Jack Nicklaus Backs Trump
