A Logical Event
If looked at logically it all makes sense;
We shouldn’t be surprised that it occurred.
All that was needed was a trigger — hence,
If looked at logically it all makes sense.
For every action there’s a consequence,
Though often it’s the actions that are blurred.
If looked at logically it all makes sense;
We shouldn’t be surprised that it occurred.

Lock the Gate!
Australians like to leave stuff in the ground;
We won’t be digging coal or tapping gas.
Nor will we mine uranium we’ve found —
Australians like to leave stuff in the ground.
For Venezuela it seems we are bound.
We could be so much richer, but alas,
Australians like to leave stuff in the ground;
We won’t be digging coal or tapping gas.

Time Bomb
The time-bomb we have made must be disarmed,
Before the damned thing blows us all to Hell!
Before they wake — before they get alarmed,
The time-bomb we have made must be disarmed.
We saboteurs thought we’d escape unharmed!
But now it seems that we’ll be killed as well!
The time-bomb we have made must be disarmed,
Before the damned thing blows us all to Hell!

Anthropogenic Climate Change scam, Australian poet, Barrier Reef health, Crooked climate scientists, Fake news, Great barrier reef in pristine condition, James Cook University, Peter Ridd, poem, poetry, Triolet
Rid us of this Troublesome Scientist!
He says the reef’s as healthy as can be!
Why can’t he just shut up and take the dough!
And whether he’s on land or out at sea,
He says the reef’s as healthy as can be!
Why can’t this stupid physicist agree
With us, and with our tangled tale of woe?
He says the reef’s as healthy as can be!
Why can’t he just shut up and take the dough!

Transparent Togs
The Emperor is wearing his new clothes;
They hide the naked truth, it’s plain to see.
Most everyone throughout the Empire knows,
The Emperor is wearing his new clothes.
And everywhere the stylish monarch goes,
All but the little children, they agree,
The Emperor is wearing his new clothes;
They hide the naked truth, it’s plain to see.

A Climate of Fear
The scientists say that we are bound to bake!
The trace gas CO2 will cook our goose.
You doubt it? Don’t you know, for goodness sake,
The scientists say that we are bound to bake!
So what that most of them are on the take!
And with the truth tend to play fast and loose —
The scientists say that we are bound to bake!
The trace gas CO2 will cook our goose.

Youth Truth
We all do stupid things when we are young;
For wisdom tends to come a bit too late.
Though praise to youthfulness is loudly sung,
We all do stupid things when we are young.
An ear we may lend to a lying tongue
That seeks, with sugared words, to spread its hate.
We all do stupid things when we are young;
For wisdom tends to come a bit too late.

Terminal Democracy
Democracy, it fails when it’s largesse
That’s voted for — from there it’s all downhill,
For more can never be followed by less.
Democracy, it fails when it’s largesse
The mob demands, and leaders acquiesce,
Then taxes rise to pay the mounting bill.
Democracy, it fails when it’s largesse
That’s voted for — from there it’s all downhill.

Parasites
Eventually something must be done,
Or else the parasites will kill the host.
And whether with a pill or drenching gun,
Eventually something must be done.
Freeloaders have been hiding from the sun,
Deep in the innards — there they must be dosed.
Eventually something must be done,
Or else the parasites will kill the host.

Australian poet, Fay Wray, King Kong, poem, poetry, Pope Francis, Triolet
Is the Pope a Catholic?
Dear Francis — both religions can’t be true.
If one is right, the other must be wrong.
The Muslims understand this — why don’t you?
Dear Francis — both religions can’t be true;
And there’s no way to reconcile the two.
You’re trying to match Fay Wray with King Kong!
Dear Francis — both religions can’t be true.
If one is right, the other must be wrong.
