David Cameron's Pledge
Long-term economic plan
Long-term ergonomic plan
Long-term ergonomic flan
Long firm ergonomic flan
Wrong firm ergonomic flan
The words coming out of my mouth
are meaningless, man
You'd have to be foolish
or blind
to eat our Tory spam!
---------------------------
Besides, how could you
trust a guy who's so shiny
it looks like he's just
swallowed a gram?
More like a key;
not the key to the city
or a key policy.
Just donkey idiocy.
'Cause Bo-Jo gets his mojo
giving blow-J's
to the Daily Maze.
But back on track:
could you stand
another five more years
of an economic plan
that has barely been able to stand?
It's weaker than an Eton elbow-licker
born-in-a-beaker
recycled sneaker-wearing
shiny-headed
Tory poster feature.
But it's funny:
whatever happened
to the sneakers, the bicycle?
Did you shut them in the shed
when you entered office?
And whatever happened
to those green fingers, Dave?
Did they fall away
like autumn leaves,
with all your brown-nosing?
Mr Cameron,
you can shove your
long firm ergonomic flan
up your arse.
I'm voting for real change on May 7th.

Fatherhood
I'm soon to be a father,
and now the wind seems
to cut through me like a razor.
I will soon have a daughter:
there is no greater fear
or awe in this world
than embracing the aura
of a newborn child.
My hands will shield her
like two great wings,
and I will protect her
always,
because there is no greater commodity
in this world
than innocence,
and hungry jaws savour the taste.
But if tyrants want to prostitute
the innocence of my kin,
they will find a rumbling mountain
in this man.
Come stand puny at my feet,
as this mountain flower
I hold aloft,
open to the light,
hungry for the sun.

Welcome to the West
Welcome to the West,
Come, be a fly on the wall,
