TOPICAL TWADDLE

 WESTMINSTER SANCTUARY 

 

The donkey house is full today.

It's PM's question time.

The troughs have all been hidden for a while.

‘Hee haw! Hee haw! Hee haw! they bray,

As short ass Mr Speaker calls for order through the bile.

‘Order! Order! Order! This is no way to behave.

Whatever will the ovis think if we don’t show some style.

Behind the scenes connive and plot in clandestine liaison.

But out here in the benches, (don’t forget we’ve donkey wenches.)

Show some manners and be brazen.

It does no harm to let them think we’re honest, fine debaters

Not just sleazy, greedy, wags and electoral ovis haters.’

They wisely nod and smirk and wink across the benches green.

‘Hee haw! Hee haw, Hee haw!’ They bray, as if he’d never been.

‘It’s time we got back to the trough,

They’re feeding us brown envelopes today.

God save the Queen, long live democracy.

(First past the post at least).

Now how much shall  we charge?

For Services so large

And who'll remove  the evil one who wants to take our fodder?

What’s his name - Farage?

French? Mon Dieu!

Couldn’t be much odder.'
