Best Lampoon Poems


Premium Member Dramatic Verse--Lampoon


Once again, he dresses himself with flour-puffed face,neck ruffles and oversized shoes ,
all this fanfare for kids wiggling Barney  Bailey shrieks : 
He juggles coins,  flashes a silly mime while blistered thoughts knead in the circus of a mind:
his son lost lying in a bed of snuffed dreams exiting from the ghastly night while clouds dim beneath the marquee...

Giggles flood the rows where laughter drowns a sea of guffaws; a moment when life becomes a lampoon  a farce
an illusion :
No one knows the polka dot tears which press inside a clown's leaking heart
as he traces the wild grins of youngsters seeking his presence ,

youngsters like his own lifeless child--
own child he did not watch go the light...
his false laughter turns into silent howls 
imploring just an intermission from
the stage.
But the show must go on where the absurdity of man is , once again , enacted.

Will liberty ring out again
beneath the cries of human rights
can freedom's name survive,
dissembling and lies
Will duty from its prison flee
throw off its shackled memory
is respect just a word
spoken,but never heard
How long,how long 'til I becomes thee ?
when when will ego bend the knee
the victim is not me
my friend my friend  it's we.

Who rings this bell of liberty
truly woke sounds  our culture's death knell.

Tory Cabinet Reshuffle II

David Cameron
Skull you could hammer on
Back from the Lords as Home Sec
Shows the UK has just gone to heck.


The Tory Cabinet Reshuffle

Suella Braverman
Made many mistakes, but the major one
Was using the pro-Palestinians
to insight riot from Social Darwinians.

                             ********************

Cimmerian commonwealth 
nursing holy brews
churning mysteries 
with argent wands

Titans in penumbra  
lean close—  
brewing enigmas
with argent stems,
greasing the gears.
 
A grimoire of governance  
flutters open,  
pages full of  
incondite lore  
and hornswoggle headlines  
nobody fact-checks.

Power studies itself  
in a cracked mirror—  
greed blooming  
like desert weeds  
that never dies.

Chiefs grin  
their counterfeit harmony,  
buying belief  
at clearance prices.

Sages—late learners—  
soothe the crowd  
with honeyed noise  
and velvet fog.

Farewell speeches flare  
incarnadine,  
promising everything,  
delivering vapor.

Morals limp in last place  
while oily fingers  
rake the jackpot.

Imbroglio eternal—  
truth rationed  
in dogmatic chains.

Skyfoam slogans rise,  
tiaras of lies  
wilting under their own shine.

And we—  
visceral, wary,  
perpetually bemused—  
watch the circus  
spin its cabotage wheel.

Yes, yes—  
The Illuminati runs the day.  
Sure, mate—  
and I’m the Pope  
of Broadway.
