Limerick [We are Many]
Humanity fights for survival,
Barbarity our deadly rival:
On the Sixth of September,
Palestinians remember:
To The Many, on Parliament Square, be faithful.

It’s Christmas in the Asylum (belated version)
This poem is based on a story which appeared over Christmas, and which was taken to be true!
AWOL = absent without leave
The Christmas gammon have gone spitting mad,

and so, lay down the law
