An ode to party political press releases
I wrote this poem for my work's blog . This is an astonishing intervention A spectacular u-turn A staggering humiliation We can exclusively reveal That our bungling opponents Have fallen asleep at the wheel Families up and down the country Will not forget This betrayal of trust And it will be at the polling station Where they express their disgust Let us be clear: The cat is out of the bag The mask has well-and-truly slipped Ministers have dropped the ball It’s no wonder poll ratings have dipped Time and again Working households have been sold down the river No ifs, no buts It’s time to deliver Voters will be deeply concerned At politicians so inept and fickle Who say one thing but then Rollover at the drop of a hat for a tickle Now more than ever It’s time to get back around the negotiating table Put aside the rhetoric And prove who’s strong and stable
