Save The Children

Doggerel Dave


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

It does not matter what I say or do;

However a thought edged in and just grew.

“Save the Children” - moral, humane, how true,

But also sterilize the parents too:

Bring a child into the world – no not you

When prospects for a happy life are so few.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Almost certainly wrong, as it raises the fraught ideas of eugenics, totalitarianism and perhaps racism. That thought however persists.

      "No comment" on the rest, Andy?

      The eugenicists themselves are surely the inferior class of people, not hose they seek to reduce, destroy, sterilise, etc.

      • Doggerel Dave

        Not quite sure what you mean, orchi..... Like to clarify?

        • orchidee

          Well, eugenicists are horrible - seeing certain people as sub-standard.

          Meanwhile - I have 1.5 children - one human, one half guinea-pig! lol.

          • Doggerel Dave

            As above, orchi.......

            • orchidee

              An incomprehensible comment from me here! Ever seen a half-human, half guinea pig creature? lol.

              this is elementary .. since it not only contains an element of truth .. but the worlds not big enough to cope with man robbing it of and wasting its elements .. Neville

              • Doggerel Dave

                Yeh - happy you caught the element of truth......and sad/happy ambivalent that the world cannot cope with man's avariciousness (good for you world - do it) and more than happy at your decision to use 'man' rather than 'we'......

                🤣 Dave, I've worked with children for the past 33 years and in some cases I would have to agree lol 🤣

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Ah - one of only two sane comments here, Teddy. Many thanks.

                  After 33 years aren't you entitled to at least a tin helmet and a medal?? LOL 🤣
