“Good evening? “Good evening,” he says!’ His face contorted into a puckered grin of nastiness. ‘Let me tell you something, Pip Bin, your good evenings will not last if I have my way. One day soon I shall greet you by saying, “Bad evening,” and you will have no choice but to sadly shake your head and say, “Yes, yes, it is a bad evening, they all are now.” Ha, ha, ha!”
― Mark Evans, Bleak Expectations

“America Is A Gun

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.

Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.

Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.”
― Brian Bilston
