The Mistake
He had been invited for dinner in Peking by a group of business leaders who had invested much money for his venture and success, but they thought his fee was too much. I wanted to discuss the matter
He took the plane to Pekin; when he landed, it was mid-morning, but there was no one to greet him, which annoyed him
He called his secretary, who apologized that there had been a mistake. What she had meant was a Peking. The Peking Duck Cafe in Oslo
He didn’t like to meet those stuffy wealthy people with their stilted language, instead, he bought a Chinese electric car business that gave him pleasure
Those idiotic Europeans who bought a car that was made in China had intended to sack his secretary, but pleased with his business acumen, he asked her if she was a good mother material.
Benji practices genocide
Brave new Isreal has sick laws
Is Isreal thinking rectified .
Benji thinks he is glorified
Death is a singletree- the kill nods
Benji practices genocide .
Harris loves Isreal -verified
Harris on housing I applause
Is Isreal thinking rectified.
Trump supports Benji -clarified
He think he does that for a cause
Benji practices genocide .
Stop electric car laws-petrified !
Stop outsourcing I give applause.
Is Isreal thinking rectified?
Many more not identified,
They think that their laws have no flaws,
These leaders rulings I deride ,
If they change-I am satisfied .
False Friend.
Your bull smeared on crystal glass
Comes out of your mouth, out of your ass
Your high society, hold your pinky high
You found the gutter, reaching for the sky
Condescending, patronising, business failure
Buy a jacket from a top-hole tailor.
You can’t buy class it’s all pretence.
Doing things that are complete nonsense.
Making plans, planned never to keep.
Used to control, the peasant sheep.
Paying bills gives the illusion of power
Explaining a clock in an ivory tower.
Imposing your will, expanding control
Speaking words, using a sociopathic drawl
You don’t fool me, I shake my head.
I never listened to a word that you said.
The perfect pair, how clever you are?
And yet you still bought an electric car?
Building a house staying off the grid
Justifying the cost who’re you trying to kid?
David Cox 23/03/24
The blame for fame, old Beans in the frame.'
E don't V indicate the electric motors
Hydrogen I reckon is where His vote is'
Combustion power creating forces, a better..
Far; better than those electric; car type horses.'
The world we know is so very strange
With all the things we have to change
It's not Christmas day is now the holiday
You must recycle not throw away
Robinson jam has changed the jar
Don't use petrol get an electric car
So mind your mouth and watch what you do
This world changes everyone
That means not only me but you.
Today's virtual meeting is now called to order
Log on quick. POTUS' giving away the country and its borders...
I'd like to order free college tuition for my eight kids
O.K! Just put up five of our campaign yard signs and send in your bid...
As for me, I'll order a 90% discount on an electric car
Should be no problem. Stay right where you are...
As an LGBTQ+ teacher, I demand free luxury housing
Joe's demands that too, we've seen him grousing...
My great-great-grandpa was a slave. Give me $2.5m in reparations
Good news! Joe just approved $10 billion to fund BLM demonstrations...
And me, COOKIE MONSTER, want all-day cookie free
We just asked the President. He said, 'Let it be.' ...
If that's the last order, you can turn off your screens
And remember before bedtime, GOP'ers, to mumble
~ Long live the Queen! ~
~ Don't Go Green ~
The nearest star is very, very, very far
4.2 million light-years from where you are
So if you choose to wish upon a star
Your wish won't get there in an electric car!
Electric cars, they say it’s cheaper than petrol cars
we agree on it is also good for the environment
we agree to this too we like to befriend nature.
The prices of electricity rise sharply, so much the increase
we can’t even heat our homes.
They, the shadowy people, blame the Russians, but money
keeps rolling into the pockets of the rich.
The price of oil will soon fall, they say. Who are they?
So, the oil prices fall, but the price of electricity does not
The pensioners' shivers in their home, the electric car
is in the garage, who can afford driving it now?
Once again, we have been duped by capitalism.
Elon Musk has launched
An electric car into space
With David Bowie on the radio
And an astral traveller at the wheel
In spacesuit and dark visor across the face
Reusable rockets return to earth
And the car to Mars as a stunt
On Earth we are left with the wonder
Of this feat for space exploration
And the next thrill of it all!
© Paul Warren Poetry
Elon Musk the Starman
Without gas you bet I can
Launched a Tesla Falcon Heavy
Using gas like an old beat Chevy
Electric car for your need
It's got space you won't believe
Lonely ride with astronaut
Use your paypal can be bought
Wood burner, smoke choke,
Dog shite, bullfight.
Hashtag, manbag.
**** bleaching, hate preaching.
Save the fox, change your clocks.
Prom queen, crime scene.
Chocolate fountain, food mountain.
Buy to let , insure your pet.
Cake bakers, bookmakers.
Dash cam, phone scam.
Raise the bar, electric car
Make your own, payday loan.
Lendlease , family feast.
Babestation, masturbation.
Homogenised, androgenized.
Male grooming, future looming.
Cold war, Godwin's law.
Online games, baby names.
Many, many many more......
in 2020 and beyond- chrismas could be different
gone the traditional tree
you may have one of
twisted wire
colored LED and pipes
maybe upside down for space
perhaps environmentally friendly trees
made with water bottles and PVC pipes
or a simple gold painted plywood tree shape
gone the traditional
santa will have a shiny silver electric car
the reindeer retired unwanted not needed
or he may have his own bright red jet
oh and no more jolly santa
he went on fiber super diet
and mrs santa he dumped
and no more down the chimney for santa
most of your gifts will be sent by federal express
all he will do is make a showing on christmas eve
with empty boxes to make an impression
no more baby dolls or barbie dolls or fire engines
for kids- they will get techno savy gadgets
and on line data as gifts or maybe a gift card
call me old fashion I think I will keep
the traditional for all of my life
and maybe I will give an unwanted reindeer
a forever home -

Free Verse
Dandelion root tea taste like soggy weeds
But it's good for you
Hard to eat broccoli without gooey cheese
But it's good for you
Driving an electric car wont get you far
But it's good for you
Being on time wont shorten the line
But it's good for you
Holding your tongue just to get it done
But it's good for you
Trying to sit still takes all your will
But it's good for you
Avoiding fat foods makes you rude
But it's good for you
Working all day without extra pay
But it's good for you
To get dumb done you miss fun
But it's good for you
Being with you tonight may not be right
But your bad for me
Have a glass of Dandelion root tea.
In a morning rush that can be hectic,
I go to work in my car that is electric.
I got a tax credit from Uncle Sam for the buy.
Clean and economical is something I cannot deny.
Each week, gas prices go higher than before.
Pulling up to the pumps can be a chore.
Well, that is something I don’t have to do anymore.
Because my car is running clean,
I am helping to keep our planet green.
However, this morning I will not go very far.
Last night, I forgot to plug in the car.

Phooey to Tree Huggers
By Elton Camp
Folks tell me how they like my new Bentley
It gets eleven miles per gallon, incidentally
Such a low rating is absolutely fine with me
Because I am a filthy rich so-and-so, you see
If gas goes to ten dollars a gallon, I don’t care
I have so much money it won’t make me swear
On the environment my car may really be rough
But my response to that is, “Well ain’t that tough.”
It has to be in extreme luxury and safety that I ride
And those whining environmentalists I can’t abide
Ride around in your tacky little hybrid if you will
For one rich as me, my Bentley exactly fills the bill
Don’t expect me to buy some tacky electric car
For I fear an extension cord won’t reach that far
We might run out of gasoline, is what you say?
What a laugh. We’ll never come to see that day
So please get your crummy Prius out of my way
As I’m planning on enjoying a fast drive today
