don't mention the war
only the elephants in the news
they’re politely ignored by this G
7 while Japan their neighbour scores
tickets for free
Russian mammoths couldn’t crash them gates
Asian quadrupeds from Singapore
to the Arctic Circle tigers all
African states
jumbo nations makes no odds you’re pink
white & circus trained or just forget
it’s the colour of your money nods
winks to a deaf
horse the ring of course is televised
nothing Trojan mind the token Greeks
here with buckets & spades for a week
at the seaside
party games some grub & jungle juice
donkey rides across the sands at low
tide just hope no cockle diggers show
up on the loose
Greenswill
Lex von Greenswill got the job of bag
man at Adolf’s favourite skulking hole
where on Tuesday nights he’d leave the owl
feller his pile
when the conflict ended no one gave
Lex his marching orders on he went
serving up illicit scratch my green
backs as before
US forces Russian submarine
crews the Royal Horse Artillery
OTAN plus United Nations friends
gendarmes du monde
all the gang & then some dipped their snouts
where the Führer got his ya-yas out
down the banks you’d think their greasy plot
rumbled & yet
here we go again the crooked bonds
private jets & dodgy msgs
next up Doctor Goebbels recommends
Covid 19
Camp Reluctance
information please
where the hell we coming from
give it to me straight
be it horse’s mouth
other end or in between
who we talking of
as the prodigals
asked before their parents’ wake
what’s the bottom line
why’s the music gone
someone turn my channel back
on for pity’s sake
this is how it starts
people asking questions like
me the only one
which will do for now
campsite’s turning into view
whose owl bunk is mine
