If Trump wins the market will crash!
Corporations will dividends slash!
The first year is over;
The Dow rolls in clover –
Records it continues to smash.

You want me to acknowledge that I’m blessed?
I’m sorry, but I’d rather take the knee.
My country is amongst the very best?
Well that’s a claim with which I disagree.
Oh sure, I’m pampered, overpaid and free,
But man, my great great granny was a slave!
So I am disadvantaged – can’t you see?
How else would you expect me to behave?
I’m proud! And kneeling demonstrates how brave
I am; I feel no loyalty to their song,
Or to this shameful flag they proudly wave.
To stand with hand on heart – that would be wrong!
Down on one knee – that’s how I choose to fight!
(One wonders who he thinks won him this right.)

This guy’s a notorious glutton.
He’ll eat an entire leg of mutton
For a morning snack;
He looks like a sack
Of suet when stridin’ and struttin’.

He’s giving Straight Santa a run.
Neat beard and his hair’s in a bun.
He has a nice figure;
His sack is much bigger,
And it’s packed with all sorts of fun.

Australian poet, Christmas, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Santa Claus' reindeer
Santa’s on his delivery run.
Reindeer slowing – he whips out a gun,
Yelling: “Comet and Cupid!
And Blitzen and Stupid!
Speed up! or you’ll be venison!”

Santa Claus has delivered his toys –
Dolls for girls, guns and ammo for boys.
Santa’s old and he’s wise;
Knows the girls from the guys;
Doesn’t listen to postmodern noise.

{A repeat posting but I may trot it out every Christmas}
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.

Little boy: “Santa, I’d like to get
For Christmas, a train or a jet
Or a gun.” – He will say:
“Oh no!- pick something gay,
Like a dolly in a bassinet!”

It’s bringing great joy to the world
Wherever its flag is unfurled.
In Europe it’s breedin’,
That’s why up in Sweden
Grenades almost daily are hurled.

Humanity, hard luck and stuff.
Kind deeds, and people sleeping rough.
Sad stories of the down and out.
That’s what the website’s all about.
Bad guys who get a second chance.
Strange human beings – strange romance.
The music of the city street.
The kindly cop who walks the beat.
What some folk love to read and see –
Emotional pornography.
