She knows when to say yes and when to say no
She gives you so much, you keep asking for more
She manages her own home, kids and money
Straight talk, her words are not dripped with honey
She knows when you lie and looks you in the eye
Nothing misses her sight not even a fly
She can bulldoze her way into anything complicating
Before you know it she’s got everyone clapping
She will sacrifice her life if she believes it’s worth the cause
When she puts her mind to something there is no press for pause
And so we have, Indira Gandhi, Indra Nooyi and Sudha Murthy
Michelle Obama, Angela Merkel and Jacinda Arden
All these lovely ladies who need a good applause and garland
So very true, both color and
fashion,
Mix like a cocktail in
an intoxicating distraction.
Have you even compared the
beauty of a peacock to a wren?
I've seen young, gorgeous women,
dressed like old hens.
Terrified to wear anything that's
colorful and sparkles.
Instead, they dress with the finesse
of Chancellor Merkel!
Even Queen Elizabeth is aged yet quite
charming.
But today's young women in sweat clothes..
quite alarming.
You can tell, I am far from a
unisex gal.
God created us to be colorful~
not a twin of our favorite pet gerbil!

Great victory, Boris!
Still reading Horace?
Dear me, Jeremy,
his own worst enemy.
And Nigel Farage?
must be still at large.
Has Donald Trump
got caught in a sump?
Is Vladimir Putin
for world power still rootin'?
Emmanuel Macron
is still getting on.
Angela Merkel
rhymes with "Ferkel'.
which means little pig.'
Who cares a fig?
Do we live in a time
when nothing can rhyme?
A Merkel is a powerful being,
Morality is what we are seeing.
We are happy to say
In every kind of way
Germany is worldly freeing.

Mr. Juncker's Continental System
Cohorts of Luxembourg, arise!
Keep the Russians from the Rhiine.
Hosts of Luxembourg, en garde,
Confine the British to the brine.
"We'll do without America,"
says Merkel with aplomb.
Warily one has to ask,
"Whose finger's on the Bomb?"
Français ou Allemand?
Que parlons-nous, messieurs?
Until this issue's settled
It's Anglais, faut de mieux.
A toast, my brave companions,
on the path we march along.
Not bourbon and not whiskey
but cognac Napoleon!
Prime Minister May
And Merkel, too,
Are prone to give Trump some rope
They're not cutting slack
Just watching their back
To avoid our President's grope . .
Great britain
Great big mess
Mess with the status quo
Mess with Merkel a bit more
More houses
More hugs
Hugs for the Scots
Hugs for the broker
Broker of Doom
Broker fiscal swim ring
Ring up the bank
Ring for a mortgage
Mortgage your kidneys
Mortgage your air
Air on the h string
Air plane escape plan
Plan your future
Plan your time
Time is running down
Time to grow a pair
Pair of sunglasses
Pair of people
People with a coup to plan
People will rise up
Up to their keyboards
Up to standard
Standard pronunciation
Standard stories
Stories for facebook
Stories small and great
Great old Church
Great big clock
Clock tick tocks
Clock won’t stop
Stop smoking those herbs
Stop polluting the air
Heir to what
Heir to nothing
Nothing risked
Nothing stained
Stained blue jeans
Stained glass window
Window of opportunity
Window of time
Time of your life
Time is a changin’
Changin’ anyone left behind
Changin’ our flag
Flag
Behind
Angela Merkel
I have seen Angela Merkel naked it was on a nude beach
in East Germany and she was a young communist
member of the party, the only way one had to go if not
being stuck in a factory job. Angela back then had
a rounded body not quite Ruben but a body that had in
had the frame of a middle-class Germanic sexuality.
She had by then staked her political future and she had
no time for suitors which belonged to no party?
And she did right when East Germany went into freefall
she was there taking note and agreeing with the west.
But Merkel is history less, she has disregarded her past
yet her socialism instinct must give her sleepless nights
Greece cannot be bought by German Marks and they are
not disciplinarian by nature that can be cured by
a bracing North Sea beach.
