Dark Spot

 DARK SPOT

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter,

An immortal storm,

Has lasted for millennia.

America was born with a similar storm.

It has darkened every generation.

It darkened my generation.

It darkens this generation.

It will darken future generations.

It is the American Great Dark Spot.

He Abhorred War

 HE ABHORRED WAR

Upon taking the throne

The Emperor let it be known

That he abhorred war.

But that was before

He turned Iran into a tombstone.

Dido, Queen of Carthage

 DIDO, QUEEN OF CARTHAGE

Trojan Aeneas raised the libido

Of the Queen of Carthage, named Dido.

But despite her pleas to stay home,

He said I must roam,

Rome needs me and I must go.

International Women's Day

 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

A day to honor women.

But every day should honor women.

Women keep the wheels turning

And the home fires burning.

Women bring in the sheaves

And knit up our raveled sleeves.

Women keep families together

In all kinds of weather.

Without women where would we be?

I guess we simply wouldn't be.

So let us honor women on this day,

And honor women every day.

A Long War

 A LONG WAR

Some say Iran declared war on us in '79

When they kicked out the Shah. But what of the crime

Of the CIA, who installed him in '53?

So far as I can see

It's been a war for a long, long time.

Nazi Barbie

 NAZI BARBIE

Nazi Barbie is no more.

Nazi Barbie had costumes galore,

And Nazi Barbie loved to preen.

Nazi Barbie lived like a queen,

Until he kicked her out the door.

Don't Call It War

 DON'T CALL IT WAR

Even though there's blood and gore,

The Emperor said it's not a war.

            **********

We knew they planned to hit us,

And throw us under the bus.

So we hit them first

And we hit them worst.

            **********

But, remember, don't make him sore,

Never, ever, call it war.
