In The Interests Of Democracy Poem by Sheena Blackhall

In the interests of democracy, the world should be flat
To remove the threat of floods
People at the North & South poles
Can semaphore each other like happy penguins

A safety wall should be built around the rim,
The contract being given to the Chinese
Werewolves from Slovenia to the Ukraine
Will howl at the same moon

The tides can stop their ridiculous to-ing and fro-ing
The blood will no longer run to the heads of kangaroos
Shipping will be alerted near Earth’s end
And migrating birds may require some safety netting

The odd Greek myth will have to be changed,
And astrologers may prove difficult to persuade
A referendum’s being drawn up. Please vote,
This is a major issue
