𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭  ‘𝟐𝟏

Once a year does the gravy train stop,

For its troughs to be filled to the top.

Then the pigs climb aboard

As the last pint is poured,

And they bury their snouts in the slop.

Corporate Communism

𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦

Corporations are communes of course.

A requirement to list on the bourse

Is that companies must be

Fully woke and PC.

Social values they must reinforce.

𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧  𝐎𝐮𝐭

I am white, so they wish I should go.

So I’ll leave — I will go with the flow

From the blue to the red;

They prepare a seedbed,

And in time they will reap what they sow.

𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐬

It’s their pregnant battalion men — run!
They are armed to the teeth — every one!
They’re a terrible sight!
And it’s not a fair fight!
For let’s face it — it’s two against one!

𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐭-𝐚-𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬

The crazies we call Democrats,
Along with Republican rats,
Have failed to slay Trump —
They’re having a dump,
Then making a meal of their scats.

The Healing Process

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬

Don’t fall for their bullshit term “healing”.
It’s your self-respect they’d be stealing.
They are the truth-haters.
Cave in to these traitors,
And soon to their gods you’ll be kneeling.

The Tiny Army of Occupation

Australian poet, Covid lockdowns, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

It’s really a worthless endeavour —
We can’t hide from microbes forever.
One day we must face them,
For we can’t erase them —
Will they ever leave us? No never!

They have us locked down underground.
We tremble with fear at each sound.
They call: “Come and fight!
For you have the might!
And soon will you cowards be found!”

𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

For circumvention she’s a knack.
She knows when it’s time to change tack.
When she has now answer,
This red-headed chancer
Responds deftly: “I’ll circle back”.

𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡!

Their “fact checkers” haven’t a clue,
For facts, they will say, are not true;
They’ll call your facts lies —
Best don your disguise —
Big Facebook is coming for you!

The journalists move behind Joe.
They figure they’ll go with the flow,
And chart a safe course —
Bet on the right horse.
(No matter the jockey’s a hoe).
