NEW MUTANT DEAL DONE

New, last minute, mutant rabbit deal done.
Life in Boris’s hat unbearable,
By the time rabbit was finally pulled,
Mounted on stilts in order to stand,
Full blown brexiteers wept crocodile tears,
Drowned sorrows in lake of duty free beer,
Finshed off last of Bulgarian fags.
Nations Health wrapped in ragged union jacks,
The unkempt blonde smiles as he shafts the hacks,
Guffaws, as he searches cleverdick lines,
Jolly and jokey don’t wash anymore,
People ain’t stupid, they know the score.
Rain floods the valleys, free school meals don’t come,
Who gives a shit about deal getting done?

KAFKA’S IN THE CORNER…..

Ordered satsumas, got easy peelers,
Mandarins much sweeter than sacharine.
Watch party leaders put out their feelers,
Search too hard for political vaccine.
Wail every day about democracy,
Rule we can’t discuss the freedom of speech,
Kafka’s in the corner, he brews the tea,
Can’t tell it like it is? Ain’t that a peach?
Meanwhile the Johnsons, Sunak and the Goves,
Filch gigantic fortunes from the kitty,
Whilst daily people catch Covid in droves,
As Brexit shorters start to rook the city.
This morning sparrows gorged on our berries,
Lorries queued up on roads to the ferries……

A TOUCH OF THE VAPOURS

Brexit is back on the box
Truly electrifying,
No Deal is braced on the chocks
Soon Boris will be flying.
Hide pandemic behind cloud,
Move back onto safer ground,
Shout Get Brexit Done out loud,
Spike 2? Let’s not make a sound.
Tariffs just round the corner,
We eat our pudding and pie,
Pull out plum like Jack Horner,
Meanwhile we’re all gonna die.
Pritti is all in a twist,
Extinction comes true this time,
Freedom and truth will be missed,
Rebellion is now a crime.
Djocko headlines the papers,
The virus hides on page four,
I’ve a touch of the vapours,
Feels like we’ve been here before!
