Not my own but the Great Thomas Pynchon's. I submit it as an example of what we ought to strive for: (Sorry that it's rather grime)

There once was a thing called a V-2
To pilot which you did not need to-
You just pushed a button,
And it would leave nuttin'
But stiffs and big holes and debris, too.

“There was an old Bolshie named Lenin
Who did two or three million men in.
That's a lot to have done in
But where he did one in
That old Bolshie Stalin did ten in.”

Robert Conquest


Putin did what he wanted to do
And secured a Ukrainian coup
Crimea river
The Russians deliver
Another Hungarian stew

What happened to originality? As in the title of the thread.

Doggerel would seem less banal if it were at least penned by posters here.
