GREASE THE SPINDLE

When state roundabouts fall out of kilter,
Mayhem is distributed far and wide.
Centrifugal normality becomes
Chaotic. Everything goes haywire.
This mad, economic, merry-go-round
Spins perfectly whilst you grease the spindle,
Do this and the ride is smooth every time.
Ignore the proletarian column
Central to community carousel
Through austerity, and then feed the rich,
Will bring about fairground catastrophe,
Unparalleled in modern history.
All those bobbing riders have been bucked off,
Now they think it is time Lizzie fucked off.

Harry Rogers in the Yellow Room 27th September 2022
