Awake Goy Dear Anti-thought-crime Community,
I hit upon a fun idea yesterday. It was one of those things that “just happened”. I had read MoonOfAlabama’s take on the Belarussian forced landing of a plane to arrest a participant in the recent (some months ago) failed coup in Belarussia, and was thinking about how to post a note to Twitster about this.
For some reason, the first line that I came up with had a dah-dah dah-dah dah-dah rhythm and my right-side brain screamed LIMERICK!!!, and my left side brain said “Challenge Accepted”. Before long I had:
A plane that flew on through
Belarussian skies so blue
Was set down
To take the clown
Of a previous CIA coup
(link to BBC article)
Now, this is not quite a limerick, but close enough, and I kinda liked it. My right side-brain was giggling ‘coz I dont give it enough love, and my left side brain was having fun with the rhyming game.
Next, Paul Jay is interviewing Lawrence Wilkerson about Israel, and my little brain-sides came up with:
Of the 10 million $ a day
To Israel that you pay
It all comes back
To the military contract-
ors Who’re oh so happy to play
(link to the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLFX_3TKGJk)
Getting on a role, whilst reading the first of a 5-part series for ConsortiumNews on the Military-Industrial-Congressional complex, I actually had to *work*. I knew the last 4 words, but had to fit in the rest and tie it to the article reference:
Eisenhower spoke thus tacit
MIC! be hold, observe it
Butler had said
As known to the dead
OMG “War is a racket” !
(link to article: https://consortiumnews.com/2021/05/24/a-peoples-guide-to-the-war-industry/)
Now, the left and right sides of the brain come together and give me a rather nice realisation, epiphany even, and this is how this post relates to antiganda. Firstly, constraining oneself to a limerick-like form means you dont have to think about a 240 character limit. You’ll never hit it. Nice. Secondly, I get to throw in references from my extensive research which will mean nothing to many, but will set off the odd “ping!” to some. I like this when I see it in others, and so its a form of “club membership” winking.
But! the best bit is the realisation that using a form of art to proclaim a message does two things: a) you look like a complete twat if you ridicule or attempt to suppress it, and b) you leave it to the reader/observer to come up with their own response/truth. The second point is important. I am not screaming or yelling or trying to tell people what to think. Its just a pebble in the lake; lets see what happens?
So, there it is. Have fun. Use different forms of communication, from stickers to limericks!
For an encore:
There is a country whose name
Betwixt Ireland and Italy, same
Cannot be seen
And is not deemed
Any N-P NW fame
All four of the above were composed yesterday and posted to my 16 follower Twitster account. So, no impact whatsoever, but damn it did I have fun!!
