April, 2010: Current Events

T. S. Eliot
Famously accused April—
Guilty I. R. S.?

Those Bangkok red-shirts—
If they prevail, will that change
My Thai noodle spice?

Holy Taliban
Kill praying foes in hushed mosques—
Allah, are you there?

Financial crisis?
No problem! Bank profits soar.
Rejoice! End times loom.

A Persian mullah
Blames earthquakes on scantily
Dressed women because
They corrupt men, while handsome
Men (god knows) never stir girls!
