Anyone who is worried about humor leaving PA surely hasn't read the thread "America". Now that's funny!

Ode to My American Cousins, by Pee Rightout
Yanks, yanks
In planes and tanks
When they invade
They'll expect our thanks
Yanks, yanks
In tanks and planes
They got the guns
But we got the brains
Yanks, yanks
All drivin' Humvees
Like some ozone depletin'
Global disease
Yanks, yanks
Led by a tw*nk
Remember the last guy
And his knee-padded skank?
Yanks, yanks
They're like, so cool
But they can't spell "a lot"
Do they even have skools?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Anyone and everyone: can you tell me, do you find my silly poem, above, to be offensive and mean-spririted, or perhaps -- as I had intended -- amusing?
If a majority say that yes, it is offensive (moreso, say, than some of the posts in the " America" thread, where I originally posted it), then I will delete it.
Can America/politics be the target of humour and satire here, or only serious (often inflamed) discussion?
Is this poem offensive to you? (I will now post a poll.) Edited by Peter Rideout - December 02 2006 at 09:58 |

Do you know how it's called when French and French speaking Belgians and Canadians make love during their breakfast?

THAT's the poem? No, I don't think it's offensive. I do think it's very true though. |

That actually sounds like it could fit on Roger Waters' album Amused to Death.

Not humorous I know (sorry, Pete), but similar sentiments are expressed here by America's greatest living poet: Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side. Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its side. Oh the Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I's made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side. Oh the First World War, boys It closed out its fate The reason for fighting I never got straight But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don't count the dead When God's on your side. When the Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side. I've learned to hate Russians All through my whole life If another war starts It's them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side. But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side. In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war. A masterpiece - now back to the humour: Iiiiiiiiiiiiiittttss... the Chuckle Brothers: 
A smile, a song, a jape and a gag from two gentlemen I wouldn't leave children alone with... |
