Teenage rhymes; the rage of a student in one wave.

.

.. ding dong / cling clong / so confused / i know about tomorrow / is there a tomorrow / circulation bloodstains run upstream / get up steam / ocean runner / walk on air bubbles / miles from shore away from troubles / paintings talk across the border / we all know that we ought to / talk / in riddles instead of rhymes / because so says the Financial Times / perspective / think i lost all / my feathers / down i fall / deeper than the ocean runner / diving in the freetrade zone / when we all are free / from blindness / will we still nill we still / sad eyed lady body heath is your profession / twenty bucks a session / the clouds snowy white in a purple sky / when you were / shot on sight / radioactivity gave you that karma / now killed by industrial pharma / your skin / peel it off / sunlotion / do the frying pan locomotion / chucklehead you're now *prime minister* / guess it's getting rather sinister / but the publicist was not impressed / the fox wanted action / needed mayhem / loved gossip / despised any other coloured race / that's why they praised him / he who would press the button / for that was something / yeah / something really new / their report on the launched missiles was top news / well at least it was some news / but now we're dead....

* prime minister can also be read as president*


Note 2020-09-13: With a president such as this creature in the USA, corrupt prime ministers in the UK and Israel and the current rulers in China, India, Russia, Turkey, the Arabic peninsula, Brasil, shall I continue (?), I thought publication in 2020 of this old lampoon does make sense....
