Amendment

Doggerel Dave

It’s ‘No Kings’ there in the U S of A;

Citizens on the street will have their say.

An amendment needed before it sings:

For the rest of the world it’s ‘No Mad Kings’.

 

In this remote corner of the planet, far away from hostilities, I use public transport. Lucky I’m no car owner.

    A fine write, Dave. Timely, the protests are on.

      Thanks, Jerry. And I'm off - to bed!

    • Michael Edwards

      If only no Kings - will he wear a crown when the real King visits?

      Dave, that turn into “No Mad Kings”…that’s the line that really lands. It flips the frame and gives the whole piece its edge. Strong piece, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      I sometimes think it would be better if there were a king but not the one that thinks he is one. It would give the public something to look forward to beheadings at weekly football games, that would sell a lot of products especially if it were restricted to kings that were not popular. As for cars you are fortunate I guess but that means living around a lot of people to get public transportation.
