Lament of the Coddled

Tags

Australian poet, Australian traditional poetry, Formal poetry, Spenserian sonnet

Oh blackest day of all our days on Earth!
A tragedy we’ll surely not survive.
Protected from reality since birth,
Provided for, we’ve never had to strive
(Unlike the working class) to stay alive.
We huddle in safe spaces and we cry.
We congregate like drones within a hive,
Aware that our annihilation’s nigh.
Now from our lips a great collective sigh
Bemoans the victory of one so bad,
So mean; we shout unto the heavens – why?
This triumph of the misinformed – so sad,
Fixes our fate; there’s naught that we can do;
Our multicoloured world has turned to blue.

Out of Sync

The world has been turned on its head;
No longer by socialists led.
Political might
Now swings to the right.
The Vatican votes for a red.

Merry Tolerant Christmas

Australian poet, Australian traditional poetry, Christmas celebrations, Christmas protests, Formal poetry, Islam in Australia, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Spenserian sonnet

Let’s celebrate, but sensitively, right?
We must acknowledge that we could offend,
And good God! – we don’t want to start a fight;
We’re flexible, for heaven’s sake – we’ll bend.
(For principles don’t matter in the end)
Our celebrations could be misconstrued.
(The Crusades are not easy to defend)
Our revelling may be considered rude.
Some may think Christmas trees and tinsel crude,
For it’s a different god these folks obey;
He may judge us licentious, loud, or lewd.
So think of others on this Christmas Day;
Those from those nations less diversified,
Where “Merry Christmas!” gets you crucified.

Baggage Allowance – 2 Suitcases, 1 Goat

Tags

Australian poet, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, Pakinstan International Airlines, poem, poetry

Take a goat when you fly PIA.
They will sacrifice it straightaway.
For your goat has to die
If that crate’s gonna fly.
Flight check – wings, wheels, dead goat, A-OK!

Getting Tough on Rogue Trucks

Australian poet, Germany - Syrian refugees, Islamic infiltration, Islamic State, islamic Terrorism, Islamization, Jihadists, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, Nice and Berlin truck terror attacks, poem, poetry

We’ve identified trucks as the cause,
So we’ve been busy drafting new laws:
Trucks that murder or maim,
Flatten, mangle or lame,
Will be blown up! (que tepid applause)

They Float to the Top

Australian poet, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Pope Francis

He sure has a way with his words.
(His mind is away with the birds)
His latest thoughts based
Upon human waste –
He’s quite fascinated by turds.

Germans Integrating

Tags

Australian poet, Islamic infiltration, Islamic invasion of Germany, islamic Terrorism, Islamization, poem, poetry

You fascist Muslim-haters really make me sick!
You said there was no way they would assimilate.
You said these backward people wouldn’t integrate.
You fools! The Germans are now learning Arabic.

No hand shake for you!

Anna Creek – sprawling under the sun,
Has no equal when all’s said and done.
Like a country – so vast,
It’s in size unsurpassed;
Anna Creek is the world’s largest run.

Melodious Magpie Morning

Tags

Australian poet, poem, poetry

Awakened at dawn by a magpie,
When barely a faint glow of sun
In the morn’s eastern sky,
I exclaimed: “You will die!”
And I blew its head off with my gun.

No Christmas for you!

On that 25th day in December
We will celebrate – we will remember;
We will drink and be merry;
Our differences bury.
