Posted on February 25, 2012 by twitmericks

The arraignment of reigners in Spain
Falls mainly on Palma, it’s plain
The Duke is accused
Of having misused
His position for personal gain.

For his role in the sale

Of some batteries cops say were bent.

Got a Brit for performing so well

Well known for his taste for the lewd

But his lawyers say

That poor DSK

Couldn’t tell they were pros in the nude.

Posted on February 21, 2012 by twitmericks

Koran-burning troops in Bagram

Have probably done their cause harm

You don’t combat terror

Albeit in error

By alienating Islam.

Hadi a Better Chance Than This?

Posted on February 21, 2012 by twitmericks

Yemen’s presidential election

Is not all that fair, on reflection

A deal has handed it

To Hadi, sole candidate

In rather a narrow selection.

Up the Greek

Posted on February 20, 2012 by twitmericks

A very old country named Greece

Has debts that forever increase

The poor PM hustles

For Euros from Brussels

On terms that ensure its decease.
