Afro Samauri
Is walking across a bridge,
Without a worry.
His destination
Is in the back of his mind,
Just waiting for him....

Afro Samauri
Stares at the fearless ninjas,
Without a motion.
He is unafraid,
Though the ninjas are hissing
At him in anger....

Afro Samauri,
Ready to end this charade,
Leaps into action.
He brings his sword down,
Slicing him into pieces.
The perfect divide....

Four ninjas remain,
Eager to murder Afro,
Who is unafraid.
Three attack this time,
As Afro jumps in the air,
Detatching their heads....

Scape congested cog webs spores;
Covered chrome top

But for Trump, that's far too abstract
Although looking pained
Ivanka explained,
"Its like an Afro dizzy act!"...

Then, without warning,
They charge Afro Samauri
In murderous pairs.
When one takes a swing,
He quickly moves to the side,
Without emotion....

On his left and right,
The first two ninjas attack,
Intending to kill.
Afro takes a swing,
And the head of one ninja
Comes completely off....

Max it's no secret
Your shoe talk vote stinks so walk'
No more time Biden'

The other attacks!
Afro takes another swing,
While moving backwards.
Two limbs are severed.
The ninja falls to his death,
In a pool of blood....

Read More

Then, out of nowhere,
About six ninjas spring up,
From under the bridge.
They have their swords drawn,
Ready and willing to kill
Afro Samauri...

Read More

Only one remains,
Still committed to the cause
That had brought him there.
Therefore, the ninja
Stands before the Samauri
And a certain death....

Donald Trump's DNA ain't on show
'cuz he don't want the whole world to know
Obama is kin
Although that's no sin
The Obamas won't say it ain't so!...

The blood from his sword
Stains the old wood of the bridge,
Then stains the water.
Afro Samauri
Cleans off the blade of his sword,
And continues on....

Medea to be heard
If only Medusa to afro the snake

In my kitchen no arsenic

this little bitty wicked clown
creeps through the night in my town 

his laugh is something like a child
the clowns afro is pretty wild

his shoes are really big 
and they can wrestle a pig...

Colourful or creepy
Love them or loathe
Oversized shoes and a red nose
White painted faces, afro style hair
Neckwear a ruffle or a large bow
Stumble fun antics, entertainment their show.

I have seen the broken bus windows
fireflies in my daughter’s afro
the look in the eyes of passersby
prompting her to ask;
“Dad, why are they looking at us?”
Which prompted my reply:
“Maybe they’ve never seen
an Ironworker before.”
