Righto Poems


Premium MemberNutcracker Suite 2020

Christmas was nearing.....and yet..
These arrogant governors must be eating ,shrooms!
"We have locked the churches and schools
Now chimneys must be locked down soon!"
Their greasy hair gleamed under TV lights,
(I hated this dudes,real goons!)

" We cannot take chances with this obese, Santa Clause,.
After all,His Holiess Fauci, the CDC and the revered WHO
Stated clearly,
Santa is most assuredly a carrier of the deadly Covid, too!

Alas, the brainwashed, masked  masses, in a maelstorm of  
applause agreed.
"Righto,Santa is unmasked and might even sneeze, oh, geez!
So they got to work, boarded and chimneys up,with speed!

Sir Covid was all they thought of day and night.
It was cool though, it helped them win a fraudulent election.
               ~Where went, an honest selection?~
They were mad gods and emperors now!
Full of wine, power and incurable !insurrection...

Premium MemberThe General's Speech

A young man watched open-mouthed,
As he listened to the general's speech.
Who spoke of pinnacles of bravery,
That only a fearless man could reach.

The young man was given a uniform,
And a rifle placed into his hand.
He proudly stood on the ship's deck,
As it sailed to a foreign land.

Lying in a trench covered in mud,
He waited anxiously for the call.
Thinking about going over the top,
Where he would see the enemy fall.

At last the captain gave the order,
‘Righto chaps do your best.’
The young man ran but 20 yards,
Heedless of shells hitting his chest.

His memories spilled onto the ground,
Where his comrades were not far behind.
They trampled his short life underfoot,
Lost in the earth never to be found.

The young man was laid beneath the grass,
Where he used to run and play.
On his old school's roll of honour board,
Was added another young man’s name.

A young man watched open-mouthed,
As he listened to the general's speech.
