chose the topic

BEFUDDLED

Is anybody else befuddled

By the Middle East?

I must confess

The awful mess

Isn't clarified in the least!

*

So Democracy is favoured;

That's absolutely clear.

Dictatorships

Must do back-flips

When the common people jeer.

*

But Democracy is dangerous,

We've learned time and again!

Wont 'we' loose

If the people choose

Al Qaeda?

*

What happens then?

If you know the answer please mail it to me soon.

I need an explanation before this-afternoon!

ZEBRANTICS
(For children)

One day, for a change, you see,
My zebra came to school with me!
She sat as quiet as a mouse
Inside our little play-play house.
At lunch she tried to eat my food!
I thought that that was rather rude!
She liked the painting time the best;
She painted better than the rest!
She watched as we all did our dancing
But didn't join in with some prancing!
And she didn't like it very much
When we fed the rabbit in its hutch!
At dress-up time she was a bore;
She simply gazed down at the floor!
At home-time Mum said 'As a rule
A zebra's not much fun in school'.
And I said 'Well, tomorrow, maybe
Zebra can stay home with Baby.'
