John Freeman Poet Limerick

"politics As Usual"

Nary earthly idea what needs done next,
each candidate seeks his opponent’s hex.
   Their Agapes are sloppy,
   carnal mistake they copy,
lost in a googolplex of carnal fix!

All their tables are full of their vomit,
very much so with all idle comment!
     We need us a carnal flush,
     right down the white throne a plus!
Carnal greed gone to seed, they are unfit!

For and in honor of Carolyn Devonshire and Contest!

Ravindra K Kapoor October 30, 2010 at 9:47 PM Brilliant piece of writing my friend. Poetry must expose those areas of our life and society, which needs a change or correction. You have done a great job for the great cause of our good friend Carolyn, who has placed such a creative contest. And many thanks for your kind and precious comments on Mysteries of Human Hairs. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra.....john freeman
