𝐇𝐢𝐭  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝  𝐉𝐚𝐜!

She’s fallen — farewell Kiwi sister.

Goodbye, have her faithful fans kissed her.

She’d bit off far more

Than her impressive jaw

Could chew — so adieu communista.

𝐈𝐧  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲!

You know what I’ve been thinking?

That soldiers’ balls are shrinking.

For in the ranks

They’re firing blanks,

And at each other winking.

Keep us in strict isolation,

And block skeptical information.

Close our borders — lock tight!

But don’t turn out the light!

For we are the terrified nation.

Столыпин

 Lenin answered a question — he said:

“Had he lived would have Russia turned red?

Well I doubt it comrade —

 No, had Stolypin stayed

 He’d have foiled us, so we shot him dead.”

𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐒𝐌

Imagine if Trump slurred his words.

Was quite clearly off with the birds.

They’d close for the kill.

But Joe, poor old dill,

They hide his dementia  — the turds.

𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕓𝕒𝕝𝕕

One needn’t have skill or be wise,

To take out the coveted prize;

But postmodern mates

And inherent traits

Admired by the judgemental eyes.

Хлеб и цирки

Before they could tend to the rot,

The nobles were gulaged or shot.

And all things that were good,

And the crosses of wood —

Bread and circuses replaced the lot.

Dead End

Dead End

The carcass, corruption it leaks,

Yet rises it up, and it speaks:

“By The Lie we were led

To this land of the dead,

So be warned of the havoc it wreaks.”

Broad Tents (and Churches)

Within a broad tent you reside,

But what if the tent is too wide?

What if some tent dwellers

Aren’t trustworthy fellas —

What If you’re not on the same side?

Their rockets rain down on Israel,

As Biden, their hero, they hail.

All gains blown to bits

By Democrat shits —

The Donald’s peace train they derail.
