Macron’s Machinations

Macron will rebuild it — I see.
I doubt that most Catholics agree
With his mischievous aim:
It’s to make the old Dame
A symbol of diversity.

French Fires

It’s a symbol of where France is going,
As it’s fanned by the winds that are blowing.
How it started — who knows?
Watching on are the crows,
As old Notre-Dame’s ashes are glowing.

Underpowered

My satire sir, I’ll not explain,
No matter how much you complain.
The problem’s not mine
But is of your design –
You use less than half of your brain.

Brunei Rocks!

They’re stoning the gays in Brunei,
But still there are people who’ll fly
With Royal Brunei — Hey!
Let’s take off today —
Homosexuals only……..will die.

Kickin’ It

I’m sorry to tell you this chicks,
But some guys will always be pricks.
They’ll put in the boot
And think it a hoot,
For that’s how these blokes get their kicks.

Bully for Bullies

Bully for Bullies

For bullies I’m making a stand.
I’m drawing a line in the sand.
You say you detest me?
That you will arrest me?
Hey bully! Let go of my hand!

So how is a bully defined?
Aggressive no doubt, and unkind.
Brash, rude, overbearing,
Callous, and uncaring?
(What if it is all in one’s mind?)

Bullies are as old as the hills.
The strong, would once weaken their wills —
Would hit bullies back;
Their egos attack.
Now bullies are neutered with pills.

Ban bullies? A wish badly aimed,
Advanced by the mentally lamed.
At first they will name him;
They think that will shame him?
He’ll simply pretend to be tamed.

They serve a societal role,
Though victimizing is their goal.
They’re a weight to be borne.
They deserve all our scorn;
But their pestering strengthens the soul.

Scheming Memes

You “like” memes on Facebook? Good for you!
Having said that — I’ve seen quite a few
That I know are just lies,
So I’d tend to advise
You — make sure the meme’s message is true.

A Classic Correction

I think I’ll rewrite “Moby Dick”.
Of all its sexism I’m sick!
Ahab will be gay,
Crew trans – by the way,
The heroin, black – “Moby Chick”!

Shivering in Summer?

Now listen up! – I am so old,
I remember when summers were cold –
Before global warming;
Before mass-conforming;
Before such untruths could be told.

Before scientists were bankrolled;
Before foolish minds were controlled.
No! – we had heat-waves,
Now boffins are slaves –
They’ve traded their ethics for gold.

Building Balls

Building Balls

Over time a weak nation it falls,
So it’s best that your borders have walls,
For they work! – loudly praise them –
But who then to raise them? –
A man with extremely large balls.

– D.N. O’Brien
