Make the minimum age for military service
sixty-five years old.
that way the old farts will just cuss at each other
and not actually kill anybody.
Overpopulation and famine
can easily both be fixed...
legalize cannibalism.
(I have heard that human beings taste like pork... or was it chicken?)
Turn the government over to the mafia.
this will not stop corruption...
but at least THEY will make it profitable.
Send the most violent racists,
and religious fanatics,
onto an island
with all the guns and ammo they can carry
and let them have fun killing each other,
while the rest of us get on with our lives.
Stop global warming
by making everyone take a chill pill.
End the draught
by publicly showing nudity
to southern baptists.
so that when they pee themselves,
the water table in the soil rises.
These solutions might not work,
but they have the benefit of having
not been tried...yet.

LOL...you are too much! I especially agree with this stanza:
Send the most violent racists,
and religious fanatics,
onto an island
with all the guns and ammo they can carry
and let them have fun killing each other,
while the rest of us get on with our lives.
Absolutely! Good luck! Darianna x -
This was hilarious and very thought provoking. I'm a little worried now as I actually agree with you !!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read 'The Mummy & The Mermaid' obviously the title that caught your eye. Hope you enjoyed it and took it in the context in which it was written ie. humour !

I loved this...such a total disregard for being politically correct. Good luck in the contest!

I agree, mostly with the cannabolism. But then again, you know me, I like my food still breathing.
Hugs and bites, Lady Raven -
excellent
Man you're a freak, I love it. Last stanza made me roar. lol.
Oh and I second these motions.

or how about we have the world leaders duke it out
no soldiers fight...just w and sod-ham
nope...that wouldn't work...
sod-ham would hide in his hidey-hole
and w would hide behind his daddy.
oh well, worth a shot
not sure if the peeing thing would work either...too much ammonia released into the atmosphere...could make things worse
but it would be funny to see!
is it obvious that i appreciated your poem?
well, i did...loud applause to follow.
