Australian poet, Islamic infiltration, islamic Terrorism, Islamization, jihad, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

In the past we would go overseas
To confront and defeat enemies.
There’s no need now to roam;
We can fight them at home.
(Yet our policy’s still to appease.)

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

I’m off to the great land of snow;
Of Barenaked Ladies – Trudeau.
Of Mounties, ice-hockey;
Of peaks high and rocky,
Where moose bellow, and blizzards blow.

Where people freeze most of the year,
But are, so they say, of good cheer.
Where beavers are hairy
And grizzly bears scary.
(It’s mainly the beavers I fear.)

I’ll fit in quite well – so I’m told.
It’s much like Australia but cold.
The folk are no fatter;
Our mountains are flatter;
They’ve more maple syrup – less gold.

Yes, Canada’s calling to me,
Like that old Nelson Eddy movie.
It’s a love song I’m hearing;
Soon I will be peering
At Canada’s fine scenery.

Abraham Lincoln, Australian poet, Herd mentality, Historical revisionism, limerick, Limerick poem, poem, poetry, Ulysses S. Grant

It’s terrible! – What were they thinkin’!
These symbols are rotten and stinkin’!
Come, all of you chant!
Down with Sherman and Grant!
Destroy all the statues of Lincoln!

Australian poet, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, Palestine Israel conflict, poem, poetry

Most Muslims are harmless – that’s true.
Jihadists amongst them are few.
But in old Palestine
Are the Muslims benign?
You really don’t know? – ask a Jew.

Australian poet, Donald Trump tweets, Donald Trump's policies, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

He’s trying to clean up the mess –
His policies, I must confess,
I think are world-beating,
And as for his tweeting;
I honestly couldn’t care less.

Adele, Adele swearing, Australian poet, limerick, Limerick poem, poem, poetry

Remember those singers so fair?
Fine feminine figures, and hair
All scented and styled?
How I was beguiled!
Now they’re frumpy and fat and they swear.

Adele sets swearing record

Australian poet, Islamization, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Sharia law

We’re sanctioning Sharia laws,
Although we admit they have flaws:
Stoning, amputation,
Free speech condemnation,
And treating raped women like whores.

Sharia

Australian poet, Australian traditional poetry, CNN fake news, Fake news, MSNBC, poem, poetry, Spenserian sonnet, Trump's tweets, Trump's war with the media

Trump grabs his gun and loads a telling tweet;
Takes careful aim and fires – another hit!
The media return fire – then retreat,
Regroup – once shining armour scorched and split;
It could not hold before Trump’s cutting wit.
They count their wounded – warning sirens sound!
Incoming tweet! – will Donald ever quit?
He’s got the scent – an Internet bloodhound
Who’ll keep on tweeting till they’re run to ground.
But they are not yet beaten – they’ll resist;
With fake news his positions they will pound.
They’re wounded so they’re dangerous – they’re pissed!
Their words are more explosive every day;
And they won’t let the truth get in their way.

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

The old church is under attack!
Barbarians pillage and sack?
An invading nation?
No – the congregation;
They’re stretching themselves on the rack.

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

Mark Zuckerberg’s fighting fake news,
By preaching Facebookian views.
His church is now open
And Zuckerberg’s hopin’
His converts will fill all the pews.
