X Rated - bawdyWith my girlfriend in tip top condition
To film sex scenes for late television
She got sick in bed
So I went instead
And was heckled with spiteful derision
Well their laughter had made me feel silly

Peace dividends - 1Trump’s Gaza plan’s alive and extant,
Battlefront turning to waterfront.
For Gaza, all but rocks,

In place of a crater

Look, ideas I’ve more than abundant.
