Notes About The Poem

The Burqa Ban In Denmark

The Burqa ban in Denmark



Women can’t wear a niqab or burqa
New Danish laws they must not shirk’a
If they cross the line
They’ll get a huge fine
Some people are going berserk’a 


Poem inspired by news article from Denmark who have recently passed a new law banning  the wearing of Niqab or Burqa’s in public, Those violating the law risk a fine of 1,000 kroner (£118) ($157)

Mick Talbot June 7, 2018 at 9:52 PM Very topical, there was a time when it was respected, but like all things, it only takes a minority to abuse it and the majority suffers. Another great limerick Jan, hugs Mick Jan Allison June 8, 2018 at 3:25 AM Thanks Mick - I doubt the ban will ever happen in the UK!:-) hugs Jan xx

Maurice Rigoler June 6, 2018 at 4:44 PM Good one, Jan. But I can see the wisdom of the ban. Thanks for reading about the dragonflies. They're out in numbers now where I live and I enjoy watching them in their dalliance. / M Jan Allison June 6, 2018 at 5:02 PM I see the wisdom in it too:-) hugs Jan xx

Anne-Lise Andresen June 3, 2018 at 8:37 AM - Denmark, Sweden and Norway are three equal countries - But these three countries have led a very different policy towards immigrants - The Danes have been strict, Swedish have been nice, Norway has been in the midst of - ... many conflicts ... Anyway, we must try to understand them - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jan Allison June 3, 2018 at 10:22 AM Thanks Anne Lise:-) hugs Jan xx

Jerry T Curtis June 3, 2018 at 5:55 AM I wonder if that goes for the Danish and tourist too Jan Allison June 3, 2018 at 6:19 AM Who knows Jerry:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta June 2, 2018 at 3:09 PM Totally daft religious nonsense. If sunlight reflecting in a woman's hair distracts Allah/God/angels, find a new god to worship (easier and less expensive than a new hairdo/chapeau/scarf, etc.). Perhaps £118 to government coffers instead of collection plates may stir up common sense. Another timely piece, Jan! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison June 2, 2018 at 3:12 PM Thanks Rico:-) hugs Jan xx

Joseph May June 2, 2018 at 9:12 AM I think Australia is doing the same thing as part of a new integration policy.. Jan Allison June 2, 2018 at 10:51 AM I'd not heard of that thanks Joseph:-) hugs Jan xx

Daniel Turner June 2, 2018 at 9:07 AM "When in Rome..." Interesting limerick Jan:) Jan Allison June 2, 2018 at 10:51 AM Interesting thought DT!:-) hugs Jan xx
