14th June 2025



disappointment

a zero-sales day

A tiny fifteen-year old girl

throws me to the mat

with the simple mechanics

of 'this' over 'that.

just take them off-balance

with a bend of the arm

and sweep through their leg

and you'll come to no harm

Independence day parade

subverted into a Putin-style show of might

from the self-crowned King of America,

but he hand-picks all the soldiers:

No Blacks; no fatties; no liberals;

No gays; no women and definitely no trans.

Actually, make sure they're all muscled,

white, blonde men under thirty.

No... Make that twenty-five

and paint all their hats red.

Spend two hundred million on my Big Parade

and cut the funding for Veteran's hospitals.
