NuGordon must have seen the light
Quite early on last Thursday night
When it was clear that Everyman
Had had enough of Gordon’s clan
And didn’t want NuLabour back,
But wanted him to get the sack;
The votes flew fast and flew fast in
For anyone except for him.
“Hurrah!” said all the Eton chums,
“We’ll fill the House’s seats with bums
All Tory Blue and NuBlood soon,
We’re jeering out that cuckoo Broon
Who’s sidled in without the Land
Supporting his sham ‘prudent’ stand;
Tonight’s results mean he must go!
Ya-Ha!! Boo! Sucks! We told you so!”
“His Party’s o’er” the newshounds cried
Excitedly as spokesmen tried
To claim the PM had their faith
While their own seats proved far from safe;
And – shock of shocks – in second place
The Lib Dems came up through the race,
As Britain’s voters made it plain
They didn’t want old Broon again.
“Ssssssssssss’not looking good for you, my dear”
Hissssssed Mandleson in Gordy’s ear;
“Leave the rebel horde to me
And get yourssssssssssssself on the TV
And sssssssssssssound as if you’re in control,
Ignore the fact you’ve losssssssssssst the poll;
Promisssssssssssss Lordships to your men
And you’ll ssssssssssssecure their backing then.”
And so it was that Gordon’s plight
Evaporated overnight
And all the voices of dissent
Were silenced: “No, we never meant
To heave you from PM-ship, No!
We never thought that you should go!
We all think you are ‘fit-for-purpose’
Now Mandy’s strangled all usurpers.”
My ire was up, my gander got
When I beheld that shameless lot
Of Cabinettes who smirk again
And keep Herr Brown in Number 10;
In nice, new, shiny suits and shoes
They grin, impervious to boos,
And show ‘us oiks’ that they are willing
To take (and bank) Herr Gordon’s shilling.

Clearly, you can’t get the staff these days.
Tell me about it!!!!!
I was impressed with the holiday snaps – you’ve lost a lot of weight, m’dear!
Brilliant.
It’s just falling off me, darling! I’ll be a size 22 in no time if I keep shedding the lbs at this rate.

Fear not, crash Gordon is set to help us all shed the pounds………
What Zak said x10.
Wonderful. After that, my little effort looks like it was produced by McGonagle.
I know, I know, I wish I had her talent………I’m going to set up a political poetry compendium, contributions welcome (and past contributions will be posted…)
What aout this up and coming young man for Poet Laureate.
“The Right Honourable the Baron Mandelson of Foisted upon us in the County of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the County of Durham, First Secretary of Look at the State of the Muck in here and Lord President of the Privy(insert your own line here) Council and Secretary of State for None of your Business and Secretary of State for Innovation and Skills and Shutting that Door.
Au contraire, Cato – I’ve just read your ode and it’s excellent. I particularly like the reference to faggots.
I’d just like to say, that despite all my criticism of the Scottish One and his government, I can now see the light and thoroughly and energetically support them, all of them. With their lavishly paid for lifestyle and their well meaning and transparent way of conducting business. The economy in a rich vein of growth; House prices on the way up; the jobless being shipped to other, more deserving countries, crime has fallen to the point where it has to be ‘made up’ to keep the masses happy. What a wonderful and glorious job they have actually done.
NOT!
same old, same old comes to mind.
Gloria.
If you set it to music it could be ….
“Another, somebody did somebody wrong, Gloria Swanson(g)”
I like it Saul, I like it … I’d have to get my Gloria Swanson avatar back though, wouldn’t I?
Howdee Folks, where’s Coco these days?
Coco hasn’t been very well, haven’t heard from her for about a week now.
She’ll pop up again, takes a lot to put a good woman down!
Cheers Anna,
Coco….rally round old girl, I’m missing you!
