It’s a brand new big idea
The banned country of such size
So I want to make it clear
Either way it looks unwise
Wasn’t Germany at war
In Bach’s time, and wasn’t France
Fighting England till the score
Levelled up by circumstance
But they never used to ban
Scholars travelled, merchants traded
Painters painted, music men
Wrote their stuff while the crusaders
Fought their sacred wars whatever
The high goal was pursued then
But it didn’t seem too clever
In the past, to put a ban
There’s no other meaning to it
But revenge, to make the foe
More outrageous, and they knew it
Now it's what the wars are for.

"You may now not serve this country
Though you may be fit and kind
I tell you this quite bluntly
I will suppress your kind
Petitions and the public
Shall never hassle my laws;
Amist a starving republic
They believe me
When I tell them you are the flaws
For I've convince them all the bathrooms
Are threatening where you lurk
I've convinced them all your schools
Are full of your witching work
So drink up; sweet deceit tastes good
I shall convince them you are a crime
My plan has made it thus far
And continues
One sip at a time."

Strike Up the Ban
Who’s banning Gone with the Wind
Are they banning Huckleberry Finn
The Diary of Ann Frank might offend
Some German who wasn’t born back then

Fair and fat, selfies delete!
Our faces look fat,
Lard butts expand, beyond gross,
Unhelpful, to say the least!

I'd love to ban bombs,
Let's do it with aplomb!
Chicks, go on strike.
No longer skirts to hike,
Starve men of meals and sex,
No more washing, cast the hex,
Create peace that way,
Freedom for Earth one day,
That's what I would change,
Ban all bombs from our range,
Girls, peace is allowed,
Noble Jung be proud!

Life as we know it
Is spiralling out of control
It’s all become so precious
What will be the end goal?
Don’t say this ,don’t say that
Offence will be taken
Please don’t mention gender
As you could be very mistaken
Life’s no longer simple
Now totally confusing
Can’t afford to rest on your laurels
Or be caught snoozing
Next ,it will be ban the banter
No more jokes to be told
So we can all become robots
Totally controlled …..

Ilene made a trip to the Met
One that she will never forget
She saw people there
Whose faces were bare
And that's when she started to fret

Speech keeps running around
seeking a fire in a theater,
censorial firemen chase but as yet
cannot erase.
Nobody likes you speech,
you offend and mock,
go off half-cock
take the piss out of pissing.
We want good clean
politically correct humor;
jokes that make you laugh at other's
are just wrong, wrong, wrong.
Our empty hearts cry on the inside
where humor died.
Think of the children -
they must be cocooned
from your reality darts.
Fart jokes banned.
Freedom slain
it's a pain
to hear what we cannot bear.

The GOP are at wit's end*
Trump's driving them around the bend
They don't have a choice
With only Trump's voice
Exhausting foul wind from which end?
*GOP presidential candidates are
now prohibited from debating as
only Trump's voice should be heard!

A school somewhere
in the West.
Simply does not pass the
smell test!
To say children cannot
have Halloween
Is not kindness, it's horribly
obscene!
They must be Socialists,
I think.
Dyed a shade of bright pink.
Because all costumes must
be of equal value?
These kinky teachers think
of course, they don't think of
kids as having any fun!
As their Socialist brains soak
in the freebie sun.
Halloween is a truly social,
not a Socialist event.
Not meant to please their far
leftist bent.
Many are grouches about
Halloween.
Let the children have fun and
be little kings and queens!
It takes no brains to make a
costume!
I really hope they change their
child -soul- crushing tune.

To see who would govern the best
If Win, Place or Show
Muhammad will know

This is First Poem of my Son
Do you know
The plastic ban
The plastic ban
The plastic ban
Because the earth gets dirty.
Fishes eat that plastic
Animals get sick
Animals get sick
Animals get sick
Making the oceans dirty.
Polluting gases in the air
Makes ozone hurt
Makes ozone hurt
Makes ozone hurt
Making nature dirty.
