Creative souls flourish.
While others try to kill spirit of freedom .
A fascist dictator cuts off the hair of the beloved Rapunzel. She no longer lets her hair down.
Hansel & Gretel are locked inside a cage no more days of skim boarding or sunsets by the canyon.
Walt Whitman is saddened by this oppressive state .
Children are craving fun & imaginative experiences; while an iron clad fist relishes in madness .

Mussolini saved Italy
from a possible Nazi conquest,
he saw an alliance with Germany
as an opportunity to avoid
another horrible Holocaust!
This truth was never told
for fear that the Italian people
would have declared
Il Duce the savior of Italy;
wasn't his decision the smartest
choice he had ever made?
Although Mussolini invaded
many countries, he also
did good deeds; women were
fascinated by his charm,
my mom was one of them...
he was the perfect image
of masculinity and also
of obstentious vanity!
Sadly, Mussolini was hanged
upside down in that Milan's public
square; the Americans wanted
him alive, but his voice
was forever silenced by
the revengeful partisans!
Italy never gave him
the credit and the honor
he deserved, but he was
spat on, kicked and
by a vicious crowd!
I am honoring Benito Mussolini
with my ode for his great
leadership despite his errors;
may History remember him
not as a traitor, but as a savior
and a citizen who loved his country!

Mussolini Bernieisimo
Every time he did present a discord
All of us really became very bored
His personality was a complete flop
Appearance reminded us of cyclops.
Only difference was he had two eyes
And bad things said about him denies
After more bottles we would uncork
We did discover that he was a dork.
Was dead wrong like body in a morgue
And he reminded us of being a borg
Only thing he knew about segregation
What it deserved was much retaliation.
Then he pulled out one more bag of tricks
Civil War ended in seventeen seventy-six
And after he had bitten off more crow
Mentioned war was fought in Mexico.
Last of al and more than likely the least
As all of his popularity currently increased
To see Pope near Italy he decided to go
Now they call him Mussolini Bernieisimo.

Benito Mussolini was known to folks in Italo as Il Duce.
But they became disenchanted and hanged him with a noosey!
He was strung upside down with Clara Petacci his moll!
'Twas an ignominious finale for his closing curtain call!
