Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, 2021

Now  I lay me down to sleep
Dear Lord, allow me, my head to keep?
Insane Taliban, coming to our shores,
Heavy padlocks on all my doors!


If one Killer, into my house comes,
Beneath my pillows, I do have a gun.
Will use it too, without reservation!
I intend to stay alive, in this American national

We have the right to protect ourselves and should not abdicate those rights to the Government. Well done.

Measles, etc. and dense Americans will fund all illegals? Hope you have tons of money to pay for criminals.I do not. Panagiota

Excellent. Australia allowed theirs to be taken -- so they have to fight the Taliban off with just the pillow...against brand new, high tech, US weapons Bidden (Obama) gifted them. Well said!

Prince de Mino and Princess Ila This is a good poem. But since it is not about the weather or bowls in my kitchen... meaningless?? It is in classical form also...countries don’t get the danger they are in. They think this is 1950, Joe! I know what channel is watched here...,,yargsville. Pure Goebbels. OMG Love, Pangie
