Preamble: This is from Hank's first blog, 'Birdhouse' written in prose form. It was not updated when Hank discovered Poetry through 'Rainbow' and has since been neglected. It was difficult to find things to write on as Hank was then not aligned to any of the present poetry blogs discovered later that provided 'prompts'.


What's Wrong, People!
 
It's Weird!
 
Given the run around, that’s bureaucracy
Given the nod, that’s matrimony
Given the millions, that’s alimony
Given the snubs, that’s Gaddafi
Given the Osama, that’s infamy
Given the escapades, that’s Woods and Rooney
Given the release that’s Aung San Suu Kyi
Given the late nights, that’s Berlusconi
Given the baldy, that’s Britney
Given the the Throne, Charles or Willie?
Given the current spell, it’s cold and snowy
Given the Top Hits, Jackson and Presley
Given the laughs, that’s Chaplin, Lewis and Carrey
Given the the 2 Koreas, it’s a flare-up and hostility
Given the strengths and tumble that’s the WWE
Given the long stretch, that’s Maddox and his cronies
Given the WikiLeaks, the Administration’s jittery
Given soccer’s wizardry, that’s Pele
Given Susan Boyle’s appearance, that’s discovery
Given the MU’s unbeaten run that’s Alex Fergie
Given the knock off Top of the Table , that’s Ancelotti and Chelsea
Given the youngest F1 Champ, Vettel , that’s at the Grand Prix Abu Dhabi
Given ever lasting beauty, that’s Liz Taylor or Jolie?
Given the Kung Fu Chops, that’s Bruce Lee
Given every high regards and respect, that’s Mandela and Gandhi
Given the hate that’s Hitler and Mussolini
Given the bubble , inflation risks, that’s the Global economy
Given the tears, govt defaults, that’s the euro-zone currency
Given the job that’s Obama and the Presidency
Given the slip, that’s democracy!

Note: The above were matters prevailing then collected .and compiled into a poem. The older folks can relate to them perhaps but not the younger ones.
