Following the latest deadlock in the talks aimed at breaking the political impasse in Zimbabwe, I think it’s necessary (and really so damn easy) to take a last swipe at Mad Bob Mugabe and his cronies; for a little while anyway or until their next act of utter stupidity. [Edit: I’d just like to add that I was inspired to compose this limerick by the Reverend Joseph E Lowery, after watching him conduct the Benediction at the Barack Obama inauguration ceremony on Tuesday]
Ode to Zimbabwe
In a forlorn land, once called Rhodesia
Where Zanu-PF have now developed amnesia
Of a once troubled land just a little South
That was once also ruled by many an Apartheid lout
And now Zim’s money is really no good
They have more useless paper bills, than food
All ’cause Mad Bob has once more stolen the vote
They really need to get rid of him, the crazy old goat
And his spokesman, Matonga is not too Bright
They ought to kick his ass and give him a fright
But that may not work too well
‘Cause all Bob’s lackey’s are surely from Hell
