Australian poet, Kathy Griffin, Kathy Griffin fired by CNN, Left liberal comediennes, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Kathy, with hair flaming red,
Has cut off the President’s head,
And, by its hair gripping,
Has held it – blood dripping.
I think her career is now dead.

Australian poet, Female combat soldiers, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

They’ve sat long enough on the benches.
We’re moving them up to the trenches –
Girls fit trim and taut;
Let’s hope they aren’t caught –
Jihadists are keen on white wenches.

limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, Marine toxic masculinity, Marines too masculine, poem, poetry

Marines need to be much more girly,
With makeup, and hair styled and curly,
And tempting doe eyes;
Not masculine guys!
They’re dangerous, toxic and surly.

Marines too masculine

Australian poet, Fake news, James Comey sacking, Mainstream media bias, poem, poetry

With his friends, Obama stacked
The institutions – lots of shits
To the top floated – Comey’s sacked –
The media is having fits,
For Donald Trump, they hate to bits.
They say he has blood on his mitts.
It’s driving them out of their wits.
The Whitehouse says that here’s the fact:
“James Comey got on Donald’s tits.”

Australian poet, islamic Terrorism, Islamization, Jihadists, Manchester bombing, poem, poetry

I’ve lit a candle, “liked” some sombre posts.
Expressed my devastation and dismay.
Put all of my emotions on display.
I’ll carry on – I’ve exorcised my ghosts.

Australian poet, Islamization, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, multiculturalism, Multiculturalism failure, Parr, poem, poetry

Multiculturalism is swell.
For a time we all move parallel.
Irresistible force
Soon applies – we change course,
Then collide and descend into Hell.

Australian poet, Australian traditional poetry, poem, poetry

Go forth brother and clear the way,
As you did for me when we both were young.
On your final journey you leave this day,
As the prayers are said and the bells are rung.

Long ago at the front you led,
And made as we trekked, here and there a mark,
To guide us back to a leafy bed:
A chevron white, on a tree’s brown bark.

Blaze a trail to the great unknown,
And on each trunk carve an arrowhead;
So if by then it be overgrown,
I will see the scars, and your path I’ll tread.

{In memory of Danny Allen O’Brien Warrant Officer class 1 27/04/1947 – 29/05/2016 R.I.P.}

The Greater Fear

Australian poet, Beirut - Paris of the Middle East, islam, Islamic infiltration, Islamization, Jihadists, poem, poetry, Political Correctness

A Judgement on Paris

Beirut – once Paris of the East,
Until Mohammed’s flock increased.
Soon Paris, as the fiends infest,
Will be the Beirut of the West.

It seems that when it comes to human nature, the greater fear will always win out. One would think that the recent bombing in Manchester, added to the long list of Islamic terrorist atrocities over the past decades, would be enough to make people in the West afraid of the rise of radical Islam in their countries, and vocal about it, but the majority it seems still have that much greater fear – the fear of not being thought of as good and virtuous or even worse. (but then, is there anything worse than that these days?) And of course this is a well-founded fear: If you wish to keep your job, particularly if you work in the public service or for a large or perhaps even small corporation, then you had better not hit the “like” button on that anti-Islamic terrorism Facebook post, or even worse, actually “share” such a post or – horror of horrors – post a supporting comment! You may get away with that sort of behaviour for a while but eventually one of your workmates who happens to be a Facebook “friend” will snitch on you to the boss, or word will just get around. If you are lucky you will get carpeted and receive a good dressing down and instructions to alter your online behaviour and to keep your bigoted opinions to yourself – more likely you’ll get the sack. And what about your friends? Expressing your distrust of some Muslims and anger about Islamization is almost as bad as admitting that you support Donald Trump or that you think Anthropogenic Climate Change is a scam. So this “Greater Fear”, although being illogical in the long run, (inaction against the threat will obviously end in copious tears) is in many ways perfectly rational in the short term. So what will it take for the fear that should be perceived as by far the greatest – Islamization preceded by terror, to actually become the greatest in people’s minds and therefore acted on by the powers that be? How many more Manchesters will it take? Perhaps the recent French election gives us some clues: The French have been battered from pillar to post by Islamic terror for decades, and are seeing the gradual but certain disintegration of their nation and its social structure, but still managed to elect someone who will do absolutely nothing about it – except probably make things worse. If the French are any guide, then it seems that in the West the instinct of self-preservation has surrendered to what is now a much greater force – the fear of being socially isolated.

Relax, settle down and be calm.
There’s no need to sound the alarm.
Cover your ears and eyes;
Oh, you think they tell lies?
So does the enlightened Imam.

Australian poet, Black African gangs in Melbourne, Home invasions in Victoria, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Victorian Police

Home invasion? No problem – comply;
Make them tea – don’t look them in the eye;
Give them car keys and money –
Be happy and funny;
Wish them luck, and then wave them goodbye.
