Doggerel

Hitler’s heroes

Flattened Guernica

Loyalists are red

They should be dead

He said

And Jews too

Of course

Jews are reds

Or they love reds

Knock in their heads

While we don’t disdain

Spain

Why complain?

The Pope said OK

Reds

Is a disease

That spreads

Isolate

Infiltrate

Extricate

Obliterate

That was then

Came World War II

Came peace again

And the disease

From overseas

Sent sparks

Of Marx

Over here

Oh dear

See them spiks

In the sticks

Ain’t they red

Kill ’em dead

Hurray

Nicaragua.
