Afghanistan
Haiku by: Tom
9-10-21
Leave no one behind;
an unwritten rule of war
not lately followed.
To kill all the Taliban clan
We’ll dig up a best in west plan
General Custer’s
Old memory musters
A last stand in Afghanistan
Afghanistan in football fever
Airborne division lose cover
To cheer from abroad
They won't hit the board
A rest for radio receiver
Time passes along,
Seen by his heart so heavy,
Angst at her return
First ever try at a Senryu.
Written in Afghanistan -3 SEP 2013
not only rigid
about picture being vivid
also am livid
After looking at pictures of Afghanistan
this is the poem that I came up with.
Any schoolgirl in Afghanistan
Makes a target for the Taliban
God gave Eve a brain
But failed to explain
That a brain will backfire in a man!
GANDER NEWFOUNDLAND
38 PLANES HAD TO LAND
FOLKS GAVE A HELPING HAND
AFGHANISTAN, WHERE
CANADIAN TROOPS SERVED THERE
WE DID OUR FAIR SHARE
Two Decades In Afghanistan
Haiku
By: Miracle Man
8-28-2021
In call to duty,
Many gave some, some gave all.
Mission accomplished.
Jill Biden goes to see Afghanistan
But she forgets to take her exit plan
No problem, she says
My husband's the Pres
Taliban draws her a line in their sand
Mr. Important sat sunk in oval
Kids on each knee, papers for his removal
"Health care, Afghanistan..."
"But, Pop, you don't understand!"
"No long-term good comes without upheaval."
Here I am
In Afghanistan
To protect the people from the Taliban
But
The Imam
Laughs at me
Says
Stupid man
This
Is your Vietnam
You’ve been here now
Near 10 Ramadans
And
Still you cower
In your armoured vans
Pity the poor women of Afghanistan
In the hands of the ruthless Taliban
Repressed and put down
In a shapeless black gown
At the disposal of any overbearing man.

In Afghanistan, understand there was a young yank,
Who from that awful country President tried to yank;
From where we sat,
He is a total dingbat,
And do presume that this is another foolish prank.
Jim Horn
I’m innocent, but they arrested me off the plane
They say my actions were utterly insane
Locked me up in Guantanamo Bay
For five year to this very today
For flying to Afghanistan to deliver a bomb to my brother Hussain
I'm feeling a bit down, wish I was lying on the sand
With a tall glass of Kool-Aid and a young sweetie at hand
Not young anymore
Can't buy youth at the store
If we could, there's be a lineup from here to Afghanistan
There once was a fellow lived in Pakistan
Who married a woman from Afghanistan
She refused the veil
He said "what the hell?"
And went off to join up with the Taliban.

Writer's Block
Hard as Rock
My Brain seems Covered by a Smock
Wait Up You
Something's Coming Thru
Hope it's not some Hullabaloo
Oh Snap's Damn
How About Uncle Sam
When The Hell is He Getting Out of Afghanistan!
Form:
He bites his tongue when they burn the Red, White, and Blue
When professional athletes take a knee, he doesn't say 'boo'
I asked him how he can take it, how he keeps silent
Replied he, For them I fought in Afghanistan and Iraq too
Maimed support undone,
the battle won ~
is still that tyranny's succumb
mates jeopardy with truth, upon the run!
Prowess protects more than
the "rule of thumb"!
Support not my position's drum,
If I am able . . . and yet still dumb!
Coffins cheaper by the dozens
The French
Are withdrawing a thousand troops
From Afghanistan
Before the end of the year
But only if they are not killed
Too many coffins
Don’t look good
On the French president’s desk
People can count
From his mishandling Afghanistan
to Chinese weather balloons
From pooh-poohing inflation
to 'afraid-of-Putin' palpitations...
Joe Biden has proved for once and for all ~
Octogenarian presidents need a new pair of balls
They say a man that knows no fear
can never be truly brave
and the man who points the gun
will never be enslaved
we set you free from tyranny
with tanks and bombs and planes
we hope this brings you comfort
as you lay down in your graves

Three Cheers for Afghanistan
Twenty years since US invaded
Terrorist strongholds raided
Al Qaeda eliminated
Yet ere we depart, it's fallen apart
Terrorism's once again strong
The 'government's' the Taliban
Play taps for Afghanistan
The French are withdrawing a thousand troops
From Afghanistan
Before the end of the year
But only if they are not killed
Too many coffins
Don’t look good
On the French president’s desk
People can count
Especially the dead
Dumped on foreign ground
Without a body bag
