Masterful, MC. But where's the audio? I recognise the challenge of getting the lyrical structure into melody but it would be a cracker.

Great knockabout stuff, Stephen! Back in the day ... a long way back in the day ... you might be wandering the streets of London selling poems like these as pamphlets. The Monstrous Sleazy Lunatic has revived the tradition of political satire almost single-handed.

I found this poem really moving. I suppose it is the hope you suspend for the reader :will the outcome be a happy one?
Very effective.

Forest Gump sat on a stump
then a thought came fleeting by
they say I'm dumb as a box of rocks
therefore no need to reply.

I liked the sentiment of this one, and it would be so nice if that was the reality of what the Salvation army are about.
In truth they are a religious cult.
Admittedly a small portion of the money that they raise does go to good causes. But the vast majority of the funds that they acquire goes on paying wages for the hierarchy of this corrupt business, and beanos for the favoured few among their ranks.

Certainly something of a "winter warmer", a pleasing depiction
of how we feel when in our homes witnessing the onslaught of
the forces of natures beyond our protective walls and windows.

An analogy of pen and paper with today's "apps" seems so true,

I'm sure there are thoughts along these lines currently existing
in the UK. Too much, too soon is invariably a recipe for unrest
and uncertainty. Time alone can offer hope for better things
to occur across the spectrum of life and expectation.

Dear Peter
Thank you for kind message and I am humbled to know that you enjoy my work. You give so much to people through your poetry, which I find lyrical, intelligent and moving. The poem 'Freedom' is a great read. I enjoyed Romanticats, although it is inevitably tinged with sadness. Once again, sorry to hear about Ludo.
It has been good to share views with Laura Taylor, who is a fine poet. And Rasa's poems are well worth reading as well.
Wishing you all the best, Peter, and looking forward to more exciting poems coming from your pen.

Like Rasa, for me Memory Tax stood out – perhaps partly because, as a Parkinson's person, the tax would never affect me as I have no memory left!
Having said that, I think I have seen Rasa's name elsewhere in this blog bank – I must remember to look out for it.
I see that Laura Taylor is a fan of yours – that tells me that your stuff is good! The better part of my poetry has passed through her hands, which was a lovely reward for writing. But I come to praise Caesar, so thank you for sharing your excellent work – and also for reading and commenting on
Romanticats. Ludo says thank you too.

I feel a little guilty that most of my pension comes from 20 years of service in the pariahed coal industry; not guilty enough, mindst, to give it back!

Graham and Greg - two types of parties that didn’t happen, then.
Thankyou Stephen. And John, I’m afraid my lyrics usually default to the politically incorrect, tasteless or offensive. I would need to find a niche market for them.

Pete,
I have four pensions one of which is the state pension. They nudge slightly upwards every year but do not keep pace with overall expenditure. Recently my gas and electric was increased by £30 per month. Pensions depleted. And so it goes on until you can't afford the central heating and end up wrapped in a blanket for warmth. It's no win. Unless you are invited to a non Covid party ( No10). I can't afford to go the pub for a pint.

A very humourous poem but underneath is the truth and reality of reaching pensionable age. We hope there is enough in the pot and I'm sorry to say there is not. The Government takes the lot.
The voice of bitter and enraged experience.
Good poem
Thanks

The analogy reaches numerous countries in history. The Nazi
scenario arose when financial hardships after a disastrous
WW1 defeat saw political extremists looking for scapegoats
to boost policies aimed at securing long-term power. In Russia, the pogroms had targeted the Jewish population to
such a degree that America saw a marked influx via Ellis Island
that brought much to enrich the country as those grateful
arrivals determined to integrate and contribute. These words
were vital in the assimilation that was required. From a
personal perspective, a very obvious example of its
success was Izzy Baline who became Irving Berlin, Wish
we could think a similar story could emerge here now but the
signs aren't too hopeful on current evidence..
