The nation faced such doom and gloom
Men gathered in a basement room
The gunpowder plot
Was brilliant- NOT
And parliament never went boom...

Lord Brexit nodded off in his chair
And, of course, Parliament did not care
When May gave him a prod
He exclaimed, "Oh my God!
Is it true we are already there?"...

          discussing monkey business

                   going bananas

There once was a man, who wanted gold,
As quickly as it came; his soul, he sold.
Cops tossed him behind bars
The judge called it all a farse
Now in the parliament, he is enrolled....

Along the centuries-old Drostdy walls 
and sidewalks lined with cypresses

Scents of late orange blossoms 
envelops you
Conjuring up foggy memories

The street burning your bare feet:
An initiating walk-on-fire...

Smoldering diadems
unwrap our parliament.
Superstitious super-intelligence
composing the lost years ironed to death,
crisp,
and smooth,
yet still dead.

The world is ending,
yet I can only think of you....

"Much I marveled this ungainly Foul to hear discourse so plainly
Though its answer little meaning;
Bereft of all that I adore."
Further sitting there in English parliament I wondered
What this monstrous Panting "mother"
Meant....

Owl hooting cease now
The ears feast the dirge of night
One more rat is dead

Rat flesh shrinks tonight
Makes feast for tomorrow's barn
A new parliament

When the owl laments
The village waits bait in breath
So silence breathes peace...

Brexit!
The dreaded word,
haunts us once again,
Oh!Visions of doom, burst and gloom!
lies and false promises spun in looms,
In Houses of Parliament rooms,
To craft election win,
And enforce,
Brexit!

Guy Fawkes, what
a guy, a gunpowder
plot to bring down
parliament in the blink
of an eye.

We remember
his attempt with a spark
in our eyes. 

Build a
bonfire build a bonfire,
the fire is still alive. We
have not let it be forgotten,
the flame shall never die....

It is not a discouraging word
but, according to one, is a turd.
F-A-R-T
is not pretty
and in Parliament should seldom be heard

Parliament today met

All in power chat

One by one get

Stand and sit 

On this and that

Facts lies set

What to get?

What to let?

If not what?

Ball and bat 

All in tongue shots 

Summer that hot

Nation not lit 

All now kept shut

Sudden power cut!...

The Queen
Has caffeine,
A great cuisine,
And nothing in between.
Her name is Colleen,
With her middle name Jean.
She has a daily routine,
And eats a tangerine.
This isn't the best scene,
But there's a guillotine.
Off with their head and spleen.
Now Parliament can reconvene....

God bless the counter tenor
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Member of my divine Parliament
Halos abounding and sounding
Of Celestial bliss and perfectude.
\Pitching pulchritudinous pitches,
Pushing me to transcendence.
No God can touch this
Nor man bring down.
God bless the counter tenor...

'News' may simply be
an acronym,
North, East, West, South,
Space-time continuum

Headlines capture minds—
Imagine the water cooler buzz
if the front-page news was:
"A Plague of Grackles!"
"A Murder of Crows!"
"A Conspiracy of Ravens"
"A Parliament of Owls"

Bird's-eye views of
All that's news!

I live in a garret on 59th street
  above a bookstore and an Irish bar.
  I listen to Classical music on a cheap
  radio and smoke Parliament cigarettes.

  I compose poetry. I feed my creativity
  with whiskey through my afternoons and
  write until my thoughts become mundane.
  There are brief moments of brilliance....

God never asked me
to stand on guard for thee.
And neither should my country
to fight for their decree.

With none of us as equal
as all our countries thought.
And those who would wage war
when others went and fought.

Our parliament of parties,
where little sharing's done.
A requiem for a true Canadian,
were all our parties one....
