We've received information
Of an impending attack
By wombats
On Perth, Australia
If the wombats attack
The Perth metropolitan area
It won't be much of a problem
As there's only around 43 000 of them
Compared to over two million
Humans
But if the City of Perth is attacked
By wombats the lack
Of defendants
Could cause considerable
Problems
As there is only around
31 000 of them

This poem's got a deadpan charm—absurdity delivered with the calm detachment of a news anchor, which makes the potential chaos oddly believable. 🕊️🙏🏻
Thanks a million!
Most welcome, Mutley🕊️🙏🏻
Using an absurd threat and numbers to emphasize a more serious issue sucks the reader into what otherwise might be a neglected issue. Well presented and nicely done with dry humor. Lovely
I have to confess I wasn't sticking up for wombats. I was using them to take the piss out of the MSM! Sorry, wombats.
A clever way of illustrating today's current issues, nicely done
The issue was more with the MSM than wombats. Sorry wombats!
What's the MSM?
Well, this is one way to put it! Excellent use of absurdism to make your point. Point well made. A fave for me, friend! 🌹👏
Thanks a million!
