‘Twas the day of the election
And all was insane
Boris actually hid in a fridge
Dodging interviews again
He stood up Radio 2
Upsetting not just Jeremy Vine
His flunky swore on live TV
Yesterday morning at breakfast time
Can’t say I’d appreciate him
Delivering my milk
Wouldn’t want it to curdle
From being exposed to someone of his ilk
Corbyn, on the other hand
Is rapidly showing himself to be
By and large the better man
Wanting to improve lives for the many
So think very carefully
Before you cast your votes
The Tories have cocked up everything
Maybe Labour should have a go
Don’t normally do
Actual politics
But this year I’d really love
To boot out all the pricks
Who don’t give a damn
About the likes of us
Who are struggling to get by
And working off our nuts
The country’s in dire straits
I fear for the NHS
I’m sickened by the sight
Of increasing homelessness
I’m furious that the rich
Are in the minority
Yet they hold all the cards
And all the power and money
We all deserve to live
Not exist hand to mouth
If wealth was distributed evenly
This mess could be sorted out
Share and share alike
That’s what I was taught
Greed is one of the deadly sins
But some their riches hoard
So vote for each other
Not just for yourselves
Vote for a better future
So that everyone does well
The Messiah isn’t coming
So let’s be our own saviour
And on this Election Day
FFS please vote Labour!
