He’s fine with the murder of babies,
All hail to that regime from Hades,
His morals, urinal,
His solution is final,
And now he’s as popular as rabies.

How do you plead, Prime Minister?

....to be fair, at least one eminent journalistic source is on record as citing cholera...ah well, poetic licence an' all that!😉
Sorry, I missed your question, Rolph.
No I'm not from Limerick, though I've been there. I'm teaching myself Gaeilge-Irish; the form of the poem is of course, a Limerick; I just use my writing as a way of learning Gaeilge, and playing with language in general.
As to the origins of the Limerick form, there's a myriad of stories, and I've read articles in which citizens of Limerick claim it has its origins there.
Thanks, Rolph.
This is an edited version of a Limerick I wrote this a year or so ago.
Never in my darkest moments did I forsee a time when I would be forced to admit that I AM truly ashamed to be British.💗

Uilleam, this poem may be short, but it lands like a punch. There’s no mistaking your fury—and honestly, it feels earned. The line “his solution is final” is chilling in the way it forces us to confront just how far things have slipped, not just politically but morally. You take the polished mask off power (the British Prime Minister) and show us what’s rotting underneath. Satire like this isn’t just clever—it’s necessary when the truth becomes too sanitised to bite.
Thank you for refusing to blunt the blade.
Take care,
keep on fighting, expressing your thoughts,
Rolph
P.S. Are you from Limerick?

After suffering years of gaslighting, of self-doubt, of lies and smears against politicians and public figures in the media, of fearing that I was some kind of antisemitic bigot whose views were going to lead to another Holocaust, who feared I was in danger of becoming that which I most despised, I now know the truth; we won't go away; this evil must be confronted.
