Afterthought Chairman Mao
had a cow
when he learned Ho Chi Minh
was without sin. |

What a shock to Mao's system! Nicely and neatly captured.
Best wishes

Hi Michael,
As always…playful and “Confucian”? :)
I enjoyed the rhyming, and some sardonic tidbits. Some “political” implications are also obvious! If it is a haiku, a senryu, or not, I find the form as part of the playfulness…
As always,
Erzahl :)

Michael,
What a delightful condensed version of history. Sixteen syllables of witty truth. Ogden Nash would be proud of you! No suggestions what so ever.
Definitely Atkin's food for the soul.
Enjoyable read.

Oh, come now,
we can't allow,
despite the grin,
this poem to win.
[but it did garner a smile] :>)
Peace. wl
