An ode to politics
I want a floating duck house,
I want to clear my moat,
I need to mend my tennis court,
That’s why I need your vote.
I have to build a portico,
My swimming pool needs mending,
My lovely plants need horse manure,
And the Aga needs much tending.
A chandelier is vital,
Mock Tudor boards are great,
My hanging baskets won awards,
And I’ve earned a tax rebate.
I need a glitter toilet seat,
My piano so needs tuning,
Maltesers help me stay awake,
And my orchard must need pruning.
I could have said the rules were wrong,
And often thought I should,
But somehow it was easier,
To profit all I could.
The public really have to see,
That the rules are there to test
And by defrauding taxpayers,
We were just doing our best.
The Speaker of the House has gone,
Our sacrificial beast,
But the public are still praying,
For our corpses at the feast.
What do the public want from us,
Those vote-wielding ingrates?
They really should be grateful
to be financing our estates.
The message is so very clear,
(we’re merely learning late)
That the British way of living well
Is to screw the bloody state.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
Your comments are always welcome. When making a comment, please try and be fair, balanced, honest and try and refrain from abuse... but most of all DO NOT SPAM! All this being equal, I shall be happy to publish it!
Oh and one other thing... I hate 'Anonymous' comments. If you wish to post anonymously, I would suggest you use the 'Name/URL' option... just omit the URL bit (it is optional and only for use if you have a blog or website) and use a fictitious name; e.g. 'Angry in Ashford', 'Perriquito de los Palotes' or whatever! Anything is better than 'Anonymous'... and will save confusion!
