It’s terrible! – What were they thinkin’!
These symbols are rotten and stinkin’!

Down with Sherman and Grant!
Destroy all the statues of Lincoln!

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.

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.

Sharia Courts

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.

War of the Words

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.

Self Torture

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.

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.

Social media’s power has increased,
And the faithful (a billion at least),
Hark to its holy preachers;
Of all these strange creatures
Mark Zuckerberg is the high priest.

A Taste for Terror

Sure, terrorism’s a curse –
The shootings, the bombings and worse.
We run and we hide;
Look on the bright side –
Food choices are now so diverse!

I know that they slash and they stab;
That I may end up on a slab.
That’s a risk I will take
For I love Halal steak,
And I can’t do without my kebab.
