an American Dream
An American election is important for the world
right now, I see a dilemma on the one hand
we have Trump, who is too old, power once
in his hands, the bullet missed and struck hard
confidence is not cock sure his grip has loosened
Yet, his meeting with mortality might make him
a great president
The universal hatred the political class has for
Trump makes me suspicious of them, I think,
is because they fear he is a loose cannon that can
fire their way, exposing their corruption, their
lies to the people, one has to remember the USA's
politic is run and often won by those with cash
There is Kamala Harris, who plays the black card
to garner votes, but she is a person no one knows
anything about except her blind loyalty to Biden
was more important than loyalty to the USA
I think she was chosen because she has no political conviction
an empty vessel that can
Burp up what she has been instructed to do
smile and laugh while dark forces are changing
America into a socialist darkness, killing the once
powerful anglophile hegemony

My first cousin Donna
now belongs to eternity
She went to live in England and Ireland
Married an Irishman and had two nice boys
She could not keep herself away
from the siren lure of drugs
Last time I saw her she was puffing
on reefers like there was no tomorrow
I am not really one to talk
have indulged in illegal smiles in my youth
Yet, I live
She was a writer and an Anglophile
She said she didn't like kosher food
Well, I think it is usually delicous
Still, I wiage 63 ll miss the wild child

It spin a while, did you mean it's been a while
Try practicing your english, you old pedophile
You can't mean me
An upstanding SOB
C'mon, are you sure you're an anglophile

Behold the mighty pyramids that stand beside the Nile.
The pyramids appear amid three hungry crocodiles
Who are swimming down the Nile in a hungry single file
As they eye an idle anglophile a mile down the Nile.
And in awhile these crocodiles, now three satisfied reptiles,
Reappear amid the pyramids with three horrid toothy smiles.

There’s not a thing in history
(Excluding a beheading)
That gets one’s knickers in a knot
Quite like a royal wedding.
We all remember watching as
Diana claimed her prince.
No spectacle’s come close
And we’ve been waiting ever since.
The wait is over, for today
Prince William will be wed;
And millions, normally asleep,
Will watch the pomp instead.
This televised event has reached
The level of obsession.
You needn’t be an Anglophile
To follow the procession.
I’m sure that many commoners,
So sad to see Will marry,
Are wondering what they can do
To get their hooks in Harry.
If one should e’er succeed,
Historians would be in knots;
Three commoners all in a row –
Elizabeth would plotz!
But that may never happen
Or be years and years away.
Let’s put that thought aside and focus
On today’s display.
For this extravaganza
Makes us feel that we’re attending.
I hope this time the fairy tale
Provides a happy ending.
