Laird of the Glen:
the laird of the glen saw a wee lassie, ye ken; she wasnae frae the ashipet but she was fair for a' that
in the moaning of the gloaming the Highlands he went roaming among the heather in richt nasty weather
away with the faeries this child of Aries would no be dissuaded though the light soon faded
mist swirled around and soon he found the ground where he laid made sodden his plaid
though Spartan, his tartan made his spirit hearten; the cold of the moorland did not make him unmanned
and then through the gloom that wrapped the ground like a tomb he saw the wee lass walk on the grass
'Come hither, fair maiden,' he cried, 'my name's Aidan, and come to my side: I'll mak' ye my bride!'
happy ever after joy rang to the rafters of the laird's bonnie castle and a life free of hassle!
Author notes
I've used some Scots dialect words - 'ken' means 'know,' 'ashipet' means 'kitchen,' 'gloaming' means 'morning.'

Black Marx for the Hegelians:
For thousands of years we have endured empires; Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Spain, Britain, then America, Russia, China
and still they live on: under the guise of Marxist dogma Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot oppressed, exploited, enslaved and murdered millions of people
Marxism like capitalism exploits and oppresses the people of the world; making a pretence of liberation it turns the people into slaves to faceless bureaucrats, corrupt criminals
neither is an 'alternative' to the disgusting mess in which we have to exist; the only true answers are the much despised liberal values of freedom, tolerance and fairness
none of which are valued by empires, Marxist or otherwise

Trumpet Involuntary:
This is the tale of Donald J Trump who likes to think he's Forrest Gump; he doesn't walk so much as thump when he's out and about; on the stump he plays on fear at each parish pump he arrives at with a mighty bump, and although he talks out of his rump and to most of us seems a total chump because the economy's in a slump his words (dredged up from some noxious sump) lift the spirits of each frump and grump who for years have really got the hump about living in a downbeat dump while they see others getting plump but don't make the obvious logical jump to see it's the bosses and they way they mump that keeps them imprisoned in a clump but resolve to vote for the useless lump!

Donald J Trump speaks on sexual harassment:
You know by now my thoughts are all complete When I express them out there in a tweet But now it seems that in this mad perverse World where we live, I have to write in verse
Matt Lauer, Harvey Weinstein, run to ground, Fired for doing no more than playing around Like loads of guys have done (including me); Hey, it’s our goddam RIGHT in the land of the free!
And honestly, it’s dumb and downright crass To think a girl MINDS a man grabbing her ass, Fondling her boobs, touching her pussy too; Girls HAVE those girly parts: what’s a man to do?
You know a guy WANTED to sexually harass Dworkin or Steinem, grab THEM by the ass? If you’re a pretty girl wants a career You KNOW a guy will grab you by the rear!
Same if you got a rack a man admires; The sight of them will start to light the fires Burning below, and make them want to touch The tits you got that EXCITE him so much.
And when all’s said you know it could be worse: And (as I’m trying to tell you in this verse) In Muzzie lands you wouldn’t get to moan; They’d rape you, beat you, then cast the first stone.
So just remember, the good old USA Has manly men who KNOW the proper way To show a girl a good time; gender wars? Those bimbos are all dykes or greedy whores.
Like James Brown said, ‘This is a man’s man’s world,’ So you just take it; with our flag unfurled We’ll put those ugly feminists to flight, And let men rule. WE always do things RIGHT!
Author notes
