Take the hand of this 'Child' in distress,
see the bloodstains which splatter her dress,
see this dead Father's Daughter
a witness to 'Slaughter',
thank the 'Yanks' for creating this mess. :wink:

The posts on CF are often a laugh
For seldom a point can be made without a gaffe
Be it spelling mistakes or confusing West from East
You’re sure to meet the wrath of the grammar police.

That's not Cypriot dialect. It's proper Greek. Well done. You learned some Greek afterall. :D

Today lives a traitor, let's call him 'Pet Meal',
He loves Brits and Turks, they're his real deal,
He hates all that is Greek and all those Hellenes,
He just makes himself look a real bell end,
For the Brits and the Turks the Greek lives he would steal.

[Again...please see previous disclaimer.]

There was a Turkish Agent from Lourigina
Who fancied his chances for cross-communal love with Christina
From just over the cease-fire line in Lymbia
Try as he might he just didn't have any luck
So he's gone back to cross-species affairs with a duck called Babeera

As darkness descends with the night
and shadows befuddle our sight,
peer deep in the dark
seek the tiniest spark,
if you cannot, you'll never know 'Light'. :idea:

A mathematical genius from Oz
About polynomials, he knew a hell of a lot.
Regarding the square root of two
- I swear I hadn’t a clue!
Whilst binary numbers he crunched; I sure felt like a fool.
