What to make of socialism = what has it got?
A sense of humour is difficult to spot;
As for self-deprecation, that's something that's not
To be found in that supra-nation state lot.
And answering a question with a question
Is a cause for incipient indigestion!

Thanks Hélène,
Go Kamala, indeed.
I find both MC's poem and Steve's responsive comment poem interesting.
Here's a thought. Take the best from each "--ism"; put it in a blender with a heavy dose of common sense and a generous dollop of kindness; add large amounts of democracy; and create a political system that balances individual freedom and the common good as best we can. (btw, here in the USA, I can't resist saying "Go Kamala!!)
What to make of capitalism – the rich man’s game
Where the only thing that trickles down is blame
And the gentry have a laugh but it’s a shame
That equality is something they defame
A question for the supporter:
Do you like their shit in your water?
JD, Aisha and Hugh - thanks for indicating your enjoyment!
There are other older lines on this theme which served as an
inspiration - finishing
"One who is willing...to put down his
penny and pick up your shilling". 😏

Many thanks for the comments...entertaining and energised...just
as they should be.
Helene - having family in the USA...the result of a WW2 pairing
of an elder sister and an American infantry officer, I am mischievously inclined to say "Go Kamala...and the sooner the
better". 😋
