About Greenland

Keep hairy paws all to yourself
The land of ice is not for sale
Hey, Donny, you're an evil elf
Write yourself out of this tale

Premium Member Igor needs a bigger lab I

What explains Trumpenstein’s command
That the U.S. borders expand?
His withered small shaft
Needs a bigger graft  
Of mastodon parts from Greenland

Who Needs Cash

"The Art of the Deal" can not fail 
Yet Greenland is still not for sale
How dare Denmark laugh
At Donald Trump's gaff
When bankrupts will always prevail?

Premium Member Red, White and What?

So now out of Washington comes word,
of a proposal you just may have heard
of renaming Greenland
"Red, White and Blueland".
It's the new definition of "absurd".

Premium Member It's a Wonderful World

Living life without wonder
     is a serious blunder

   From a fidgety photon
     to the glaciers of Greenland

   Every image captivating
     when you're concentrating

_____back
Just buy Panama: the next 51st state
Lost in some distant ghostly debate
For $1.00

Greenland may cost US a little more
Hopefully not an arm and a leg or more
Yet, it's still a worthy cause. #52?

Premium Member 2026 Will Take Some Brains Too

  
      This year is off to a rip-roaring start
      President Donald Trump is throwing darts
         Venezuela got bit
          Iran’s next to get hit
       Though Greenland will take a few extra smarts

St. Patrick's Day


My cousin went joyfully to Ireland,
A first trip with her best friend, Tim Roland; 
Joining fares on Paddy’s Day,
He viewed all green the whole day,
She shouted joyfully, “I love Greenland!”

Be In My Arms

You, being a wrecked vessel,
in the middle of the 
Deep Ocean;
No sign of a Greenland;
heavy wind; wild storms;
Survival on time is essential;
lay on my shoulders;
be in my arms until 
we, both reach the shore !

Greenland

GREENLAND


Land of white purity and grace.

Ice, sea, snow, and you brace

Yourself as  the  wind cuts your face.

Whales break the surface

And icebergs in their slow race chase

Each other from the island’s south face

In this barren arctic place.

~ ROCK THE BOAT ~

    Melody:  Rock-a-bye, Baby


     Rock the boat, baby
        about climate change
     When Greenland melts
        your elders you'll blame

     As shorelines erode
        and port cities sink
     They'll shame Greta Thunberg
        and call her a fink

the wish

The wish

After Greenland, will Norway be
the next target
the borders with Russia that make
 the night white
an irrational fire a demand
for a lasting peace
eternity shared with brothers
when hatred 
will be unknown 
The oceans undulate calmly
the light we see
are heavenly stars

Premium Member In the Bazaar

In the bazaar
Works and willful stacks of gold.
I grant thee one reticent 
Knod, just for show.

There is no real fauna
In our new world.order, 
We whet our fangs
And fight for the final time.

In glaciers cool but melting,
I greet the gods of Greenland mourning.
In glaciers hot and freezing
We leave the demons plotting.

Personal Heat

It is 94 degrees and mostly sunny
Though my skin is like smouldering burned cookies
After the fire department sprayed water on top

Time is now for my personal heat
Others are cool and calm while I melt into my seat
Hide the scissors cause I feel like cutting off my hair
Winter is for me this season
Maybe I'll move to Greenland.

Kwik-E-Mart

Altiloquent in behavior
Quick to carom
Unabashedly pawky
A labyrinthine of misadventure

Like living in Greenland
Hardly felt warmth
Got the oil-
Wanted nothing more

Silenced your weapon
Named it trust
In the end
Just shot yourself

Like Halloween everyday
Since the mask came on
A new disguise
Darker and darker you stay

The Clime

Once Greenland
Had bananas
Monkeys sat in trees
Snakes in the grass.
Then it colder
The jungle vanished
Ice took over.
Yet
The Vikings
Did farming
Had cows 
And root plants.
When it got too cold
They took the cow
Home
To Norway
In longboats.
The clime
Had changed
Now it is changing 
Again.
Will, it ever snow
In New Delhi.

Mercator

MERCATOR

Dude who in a  cartographic essay
Made  Canada  five  times  bigger than USA,
And   Greenland with room to spare   
Much  bigger  than  Africa way down there.  
But his  meridians  all went parallel -
So when sailing your carrack or caravel
You could follow straight lines to get there:
Which proved  at last the world was square.

Thank You for Your Attention to this Matter

The Russian sheep are sleazier,
the Greenland sheep are fatter:
Trump therefore finds it easier
to carry off the latter.

Do nations have existence,
or do they count for nada?
The yardstick – size, or distance,
or the biggest enchilada?

The standard – be the victim spent,
complaisant, even skittish,
suggests that, by your argument,
America’s still British!

Watch, Trump’s on hunt on Gaza front--
Battlefront turns to waterfront,
For the land all of rocks
Let me think out of box…
In place filled with craters
Ah casino caters,
Like Panama, Greenland,
Mexico, our northland,
Think, ideas I have abundant.

the lay of the land E

The Lay of the Land
If my thoughts had wings
Or better still, had arrows and a bow
To pierce your heart
You will open your emerald eyes
As only seen in the sea of Greenland
Seek my embrace
We will be the sky and the earth
Filling the air with fog
Before we make love
Our Titanic love is too great for
Sluggish humanity to clasp
Kiss me slowly, caress me long
we will purify a putrefied world.
