THE BLOB AND THE TAPEWORM - TWO POLITICAL FRIENDS 

​

© Sean Notyeats 2017

​

This is the story of two  Ministers, showing their true colours after the 2016 UK referendum  result, which showed a small majority in favour of the UK leaving the European Union. 

 

A nonsense poem  inspired by Edward Lear's "The Owl and the Pussy cat ".

 

The Blob and the tapeworm were all at sea

At the end of the Brexit vote

An immediate dash with lefties to bash

Would secure their right to gloat

The Blob looked up to the stars above 

Then thought of his ancient scar

Oh loathsome worm, but worm you star

What a fickle creature you are, you are

What a fickle creature you are

SHROUDED IN FOG

​

​

This is the story of a very pleasant but functionally useless  Leader of the Labour Party.

​

(Before  2017 UK General Election)

​

A nonsense poem based around the old Folk Song Lillebalero

​

​

There was an old Lefty shrouded in fog

Labour polemics nonsense and farce

Who wanted to rule, but his time was past

Labour polemics nonsense and farce

Labour, labour bound to be failure

By a large margin because they’re so daft

To stay with a leader, useless old pleader,

Tory hegemony will come to pass

HIT ME WITH YOUR STATIS STICK

​

A nonsense poem inspired by Ian Dury and the Blockheads

​

Hit me with your statis stick ,hit me , hit me 

I want a really slow Brexit, hit me,hit me

​

No shades of Grey to come my way 

Make it slow I want to pay

Exquisite pain for years to come 

Exchanged for a monstrous sum

THE CONFEDERATION OF IRISH STATES ?

​

Loosely based on  the old folksong Danny Boy

​

Oh Ulster men your plight is quite appalling

Your entrenched views could start a deadly slide

The more delay and mindless point scoring

With no strategy you’ll not survive

 LEFT US AGOG

​

​

This is the story of  the transformation of a seemingly very pleasant but functionally useless  leader of the Labour Party into an Election Campaign Hero

​

A nonsense poem based around the old Folk Song Lillebalero

​

(After  2017 UK General Election)

 

There was an old Lefty made us agog

Labour polemics nonsense and farce

Whom we all thought wasn’t up to the job

Labour polemics nonsense and farce

Labour, labour not now a failure

Media savvy ag’in  all the odds

Turned an old pleader into a leader

Complacent Tories were left aghast

CLUELESS IN LONDON

​

Labour and Tory in despair
As they build castles in the air
Clueless they look everywhere
All reference points have gone

The State of the Union

​

© Sean Notyeats 2017

 

We’re for the Union  man,

Amazed at what we can

Impose on the rest

Because we know best

Even with no master plan

​

We will surely get our way

Clear as night will follow day

There will be some  fooled

As there are no rules

Other  views are pure hearsay
