Ode to a Prime Minister
Jun 15, 2023
Arrived with pomp and pretence
A foppish comic faker
Pillaging with privilege
A practiced promise-breaker
Too cowardly for honesty
Believers buttered then betrayed
Attacked in the early hours
Wielding a witty charade
Truth evaporating in filibuster
Secrets muted by scrutiny
Dead cats bounced at voters
Disaster sold as opportunity
An upper-class merrymaker
Flinging cake at the sick
Sending the desperate to Rwanda
Dressing up pigs with lipstick
We’ll miss you like a blister
You awesome world-beating liar
Grinning while your pants burn
Saluting the tatters of Empire
