Know Your Place – and Stay There!

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. πŸ˜‚

Get this: economic growth is imperative today;

Nothing should take precedence; all else leads to disarray.

Impudent of the common herd to claim they have a say;

Their function here is consumption, this they cannot delay.

Profits should take precedence; law and order must hold sway.

(Wait until election time, where your opinion should stay –

In the meantime shut up, consume, then go seek love or pray.)

  • dusk arising

    Ah the fate of society within a capitalist state of mind. Vote?...so many deny they voted yet are voiceiferous about the state of things, largely the economy or that damned pandemic.
    Bring back hanging... nay bring back transporatation to.... hang on their borders wont allow the unvaccinated.
    Anyone for tennis?

    • Doggerel Dave

      Ta dusk, thank ye kindly Sir - you got it!
      Might just as well get a round or two of tennis in before we are completely stuffed. 'Mind if it's table tennis in air conditioning?
      Depends who you are transporting too - we have more than enough Fwit politicians already.

    • Rozina

      Same here!

      • Doggerel Dave

        Hi Rozina! Does this relate specifically to my politician comment?
        I'm glad your poetry is not as succinct as your commentary..... 😊

      • Rozina

        Politicians are the same the world over -exceptions are a few women leaders (of course!). Including politicians in power in my country; those in opposition behave similarly once in power.

        • Doggerel Dave

          Yes - some women (also some not necessarily leaders) and men. Overall I agree with your general analysis. The system is not fit for purpose. Thanks.

        • Lorna

          Help Dave! Politicians swill in their own vortex..... I wonder which evolutionary process in the chemical soup thought them up.....

          • Doggerel Dave

            Ooo Lorna - vortex..evolution.. chemical soup.. I'm suffering from vertigo and disorientation... I knows wot I know and I know the whole system is rigged....
