Australian poet, Facebook censorship, Fake news and Facebook, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Facebook will determine what’s news.
Facts, rather than fiction, they’ll choose.
Trustworthy and wise,
They’ll discard the lies
That aren’t reinforcing their views.

Facebook teams with like-minds to reject “fake news”

I see you’ve succumbed to the crowd.
But, hey man, for crying out loud,

Is no brave creation –
Not something of which to be proud.

“They’re moderates.” They say on The News.
Though it’s a strange ethos they choose.
“They’re peaceful – benign;
They’ll fit in just fine.”
They’re moderates? – with such extreme views?

Turned into a beautiful broad.
Where he’d fought, now she charmed;
With but beauty was armed.
(For no woman can wield a broadsword.)

But just hang on a sec
While on Twitter I check
That my followers will still elect me.

It’s for this, industry has been waiting.
Rules counterproductive
Abolished – constructive!
In their boots civil servants are shaking.

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

U.S. actors are not in good cheer;
They are traumatised – stricken by fear.
The silver-screen greats
Are leaving The States.
(So long as they don’t move out here.)

It’s a pipeline to help fuel a nation;
Yet they block it without reservation.
