Collaboration Horizontal & Pervertical

PWWL is pleased to acknowledge the participation of friend-of-blog JD in creating this item. Collaboration in name, collaboration in process, eh...?


     Then 

Back in Fall of '44, 
once the Boche had botch'd their war,
certain citizens of France were labell'd traitors.
Seems some femmes "made friends" with Fritz --
showin' Huns bared buns 'n' tits.
Folks cried, "whores!" (That -- and, of cours'"collaborators!")

Ev'ry cutie thus accused 
(barely any were excused)
had their crowning glories shaved 'n' shorn 'n' sheared.
Ask'd their barbers, "Need a reason...?
What you turncoats did was treason.
We don't care that, sans your hair, your heads look weird."

     Now 

Likewise, Drumpf's a traitor, who
secret documents withdrew
from the People's House, which people de-elected him,
whence that treasonable lout 
bared 'n' bandied 'em about
to the likes of Putin, Erdogan 'n' Kim. 

What's the punishment Drumpf's due...?
Seems there's little left to do
but to sit that traitor down 'n' shave his head.
Drumpf will look -- no snick'ring, ya'll -- 
like an orange billiard ball.
(Oo-oops! That was Herr Drumpf's real hair -- just like Drumpf said.)

KEB USPs GOP RSVP to JRB's SOTU

     "Do 
look at me, America...at

Rhymin' Winnies...

     ...with a nod to SH (she knows who she is) 

He's a Cambrian stromatolite 
enwrapped in an amoebocyte 
inside a flaming pile o' shite.

His candor's tongue-in-cheeky
in a twice-used condom (leaky)
wrapp'd in Tim Scott's old dashiki.

Ballderdash

     Wiffle Ballmer 

     It is 
dimpl'd. It is yellow. It is 
roundish, doncha know it.
     It will 
curve...'n' then will swerve...'n' then will 
sink each time you throw it.
     It is 
hollow; in its hold it hoards some 
snow-dissolving salt.
     (Do you 
fail to find this charming...? Such is 
surely not my fault.)

Some Colors Are Dolors

     If it's Huesday, this must be Washington. 

     I. Full Spectrum 

Loy'lty to the Constitution
each House member -- Blue, Red -- pledges.
Keeping fit to do so means
they eat their Green 'n' Yellow veges.


     II. Limited Palette 

'Twas true in 2020.
So 'tis true in '22:
There'll ne'er be room for Orange
in the Red, White and Blue.


     III. "New Glory"...?


Every fascist needs a flag.
