Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 152

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.

Serbia.

A Balkan country with a past—
With deep regrets, an iffy cast
Of leaders who had hearts so dark
No light could live. So grim, so stark.

The country’s a republic now—
A constitution rules somehow.
For years it bridged the West, the East—
Though sometimes it just Fed The Beast.

It’s got so many carnivores—
To them we are but bites—s’mores!
The wolf, the fox, the cat, the lynx—
They are all there—my hope just sinks!

I sit a world away and hope
That peaceful ways increase in scope.
That people there—and everywhere—
Can learn to live with human care.
