holly day in May

A Holly Day in May

the building is eerily empty today, everybody
has gone to the beach, even those in wheelchairs
I sit on the verandah in the hope of tanning
my scalp looks so white in the bathroom mirror
I used to sit in the sun and get a deep tan
which gave me skin cancer
Do the Gaza people sit in the sun away from their
tents, now bombed, because Gaza has nice 
beaches and turquoise water.
The Israel monster regime keeps killing Palestinians 
daily, 60 here and 40 there 
It has been noticed, that more Jews are leaving 
Israel, then newcomers to this Paradise of evil
I went to the pharmacy yesterday and wanted to buy 
a self-tanning product, the person who served me
came from Congo, shamefully, I lost my nerves 
and bought aspirins.
My wife, born in Kinshasa, said I was a racist
Once, when she was a stewardess, she met 
the fabled Roger Moore, I say no more but has
a nice-looking daughter 
I read Joe Biden talking about ********, maybe 
he wished for one
 We all have sexual fantasies, a curse for old men
