The Blame Game
The world wants to attack 
England, for invading 
other countries,
You invaded America,

Again let's play
The blame Game,
Your Ancestors  
Invaded Australia,

Your Ancestors
Invaded America,
your Ancestors
Invaded New Zealand,

Your Ancestors 
Invaded Africa,
Lets play the 
Blame game,

Yet Sudanese tribes,
invaded other tribes,
taking slaves as the victory
of battle,

The New Zealand 
Maori Invaded...

Queuing Theory
I am the first of many
The lucky one with out any
People standing before me
Being early is the key

So please don't stand in front of me
Can't you see where you should be
Each in turn must join the line
At the back, you'll be just fine

I really can't...

The Arrogance of Wealth
The Arrogance of Wealth

By Elton Camp

“Dowager Countess” you must call me 
Any familiarity and evil will befall ye

I am a very wealthy aristocrat
I am sure you are jealous of that

I hold a most lofty station in life
Free from mundane tasks or strife

When I speak, all...

Andrea Dietrich and Dunkirk
Andrea Dietrich and Dunkirk

Sure seem to be so many similarities,
Along with varieties and familiarities;
When compared,
And also shared;
Sometimes disturbed by disparities.

Do take awesome Battle of Dunkirk,
And way out everything would work;
Harvey hurricane,
Sadness remain;
Much love was there as it would lurk. 

There are so many similarities between
Battle...

Committing sin sure is a crime
That has been against humanity
And along with all of our sanity;
Never ever sinning is so sublime.

England
ENGLAND

England is a changing country
Not the place I left  thirty five years ago.
Oh yes, they still have Ann Hathaway’s Cottage,  
And  Buckingham Palace, and even fish-and-chips.
But it’s all dressed up in theme-park clothes, 
And staffed by people speaking only  Serbian,
Or Bengali,...

Be Sure To Buy Roundtrip Ticket
Be Sure to Buy Roundtrip Ticket 
(Just in case.)

In America, we are always so spoiled
Like lavish living and nothing soiled
Never need to handle anything with care
There is always good old wash and ware.

When you want to know how things grow
For everything is an elegant TV...

This is that place you heard of but didn’t understand. 
This is that place. This is where they had it so good for so 
many generations. This is that place

Where healthcare was free and second to none, 
where people lived free and practiced their religions.
It...

As now we know. 
And before them, the persecuted Jews, 
Rebelled against the yoke of tyranny. 
Although the ?ght for Freedom 
Was long and hard, 
In the end they...

Dawn phoned to ask me,
If I should like to write,
A poem for the Companion Club,
And I said, alright

She wanted me to call the poem Summertime,
As it was the Summer season.
Little did she know, I hate the Summer.
I am a Pom, so maybe that's the reason.

Summer...

Gloriously Luxuriating In Eternal Sleep
Gloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep

Forlorn; bereft of golden
(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,
hence mindset adrip
with self denouncing expletive filled bleep
unwritten expressed recriminations
wielded upon figurative head of wimpy blip;
decades elapsed at light speed clip
as the world turned days of mein kampf

versus being alive 
predicated victory videre licet lunatic
if Trump trumped Kamala Harris
and stole 2024 presidential election,  
(whereat Musk bribed 
significant number of voters
handing out wads of cash)
courtesy underhanded modus operandi
and devious and sinister schemes.

Forlorn; bereft of golden
