Premium Member A New Idea

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.


June 6 2025 Transgender Military Ban

"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

Ban Selfies

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

under scrutiny due to data privacy violations, 
mental health concerns, misinformation, 
offensive content, and its role during the Israel–Hamas war.

Ban the Bombs

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!

Premium Member Let's Ban Cars

They all saw him gun it down the freeway
                                     That's right ~ cars are weapons too

Premium Member -Ban the Banter

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 …..

Man Hat Tan Ban

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

Ban It Ban It All

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.
