๐‡๐ข๐ญ  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž  ๐ซ๐จ๐š๐  ๐‰๐š๐œ!

Sheโ€™s fallen โ€” farewell Kiwi sister.

Goodbye, have her faithful fans kissed her.

Sheโ€™d bit off far more

Than her impressive jaw

Could chew โ€” so adieu communista.

๐ˆ๐ง  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž  ๐€๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฒ!

You know what Iโ€™ve been thinking?

That soldiersโ€™ balls are shrinking.

For in the ranks

Theyโ€™re firing blanks,

And at each other winking.

โ€” D.N. Oโ€™Brien

Keep us in strict isolation,

And block skeptical information.

Close our borders โ€” lock tight!

But donโ€™t turn out the light!

For we are the terrified nation.

Archibald Portrait Prize, limerick, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Postmodern art

๐”ธ๐•ฃ๐•”๐•™๐•š๐•“๐•’๐•๐••

One neednโ€™t have skill or be wise,

To take out the coveted prize;

But postmodern mates

And inherent traits

Admired by the judgemental eyes.

ะฅะปะตะฑ ะธ ั†ะธั€ะบะธ

Before they could tend to the rot,

The nobles were gulaged or shot.

And all things that were good,

And the crosses of wood โ€”

Bread and circuses replaced the lot.

Defund the police, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Intensifying Peacefulness

As saintly protesters increase,

Diffused is the perfume of peace.

Theyโ€™re such gentle souls,

With such peaceful goals.

Including โ€œDefund the Police!โ€

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.

I am white, so they wish I should go.

So Iโ€™ll leave โ€” 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.

โ€” D.N. Oโ€™Brien

Itโ€™s their pregnant battalion men โ€” run!
They are armed to the teeth โ€” every one!
Theyโ€™re a terrible sight!
And itโ€™s not a fair fight!
For letโ€™s face it โ€” itโ€™s two against one!

The crazies we call Democrats,
Along with Republican rats,
Have failed to slay Trump โ€”
Theyโ€™re having a dump,
Then making a meal of their scats.

โ€” D.N. Oโ€™Brien
