DREAM OF DANCING PETS

By Steve Plonk

Within a whirligig
My dead pets were dancing
Suspended in the air
With the leaves
Like whirling "dervishes"

It has been duly noted on the internet, and the major networks, that Trump' s DOD took out General Qassem Soleimani, who was an Iranian terrorist from high up in the Iranian hierarchy.

Greetings, felicitations, right back to you, jackofnightmares, from the high holy highway, ie., your humble poster, Steve Plonk. Keep smiling!

RAINBOW FLAG OF FREEDOM
By Steve Plonk
