Farage's new Raj


It's prime time for the new Raj

Facts & acts must just sabotage

All baloney with no camouflage

Racist fascist pacts back in charge


De facto crypto crony arbitrage

With an aristo phony entourage

Ipso facto know who's the sarge 

Nige does show pony dressage


Truth and proof will just massage

Aloof uncouth ranter going large

Just pub banter a bit of badinage


Trump leader of hit populist collage

All aboard greedier tech T-Rex barge

Seedier far right sh*t media montage


Vent at the establishment's espionage

Decent and democratic only a mirage

Bet just cover for yet another barrage

To other bigots & despots pay homage


An abhorrent torrent he does sparge

Hilarious no it is nefarious persiflage

Nutter's not butter but cheap marge

Spread thin in the gutter Nige Farage

Premium Member Santa's Elf

Picture # 4 

Santa had a tiny elf
His feet were growing large
And everywhere Santa went
The elf's big feet would sparge

Santa spent so much time
Making the elf new shoes
Because it was late spring
Snow melt did ooze and ooze

Everyone knew when he was near
Because his feet smelled like cheese
Old, old stinky parmesan
Others would tease and tease

Santa needed a solution
To this big problem, so
He asked all the boys and girls
To send him answer though

He received so many letters
With answers quite clever
From soaking his feet in tea
To changing the weather

Santa was busy answering
All those long dear letters 
He could not make any new toys
His mind was tied in terrors

Mrs. Claus came up with a solution
So, they could get back on track
Now everyone is happy 
And filling Santa's sack   

I know you want to know the secret
That helped those stinky feet
She took tiny elf to the doctor
Who prescribed some meds sweet

Anti-fungal tablets to take
Powder like downy sheets
Lots of soap and water to clean
Clean socks, oh! a great treat

Life In the Country

A bit of life I cut and paste
The country life I share
So you can have a little taste
Of what it's like out their

We've bats that hit those not on guard
With song birds that alight
The bulls they charge without a card
Oh dear, that's just not right

A buck that rams all it can see
Now it sees very much 
A ram that bucks the likes of me
Now that has him in dutch

The geese will pinch you with their bills
At least they do not charge
The barn cats eat our food til filled
But love from me they sparge

The rabbits keep on making more
Each will have eight I say
That's one reason cats are here
So rabbits run away

The farm that's in the dell some shun
But it to me is home
So take a trip and have some fun
You'll find there's space to roam.
