Punch and Judy American style
Lines upon Punch and Judy falling prey to American political correctness
Judy is a victim.
Needs to learn assertion.
She should be disabled
In the PC version.
That's the way to do it.
Judy lives with Susan.
Baby is their daughter.
Mr Punch has access
One weekend each quarter.
That's the way to do it.
Mr Punch, the father,
Should be far more caring.
He could learn at workshops
Parenting IS sharing.
That's the way to do it.
By the way ... that policeman.
Could be black and female.
Punch would be arrested,
Porno in his e-mail.
That's the way to do it.
And that crocodile ...
Makes the children edgy.
Which brings us to sausages,
Shouldn't they be veggie?
That's the way to do it.
Mr Punch is violent.
And his dog is snappy.
They should both be counselled,
Forced to feel happy.
That's the way to do it.
