Do you have a song you could play,
For your country in Europe next May?
It’ll need a good beat,
To get folk on their feet,
And if possible sound a bit gay.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage and newly-elected UKIP MP Douglas Carswell
A barmy ex-Tory called Doug,
Is today feeling awfully smug,
He’s once more the MP,
For Clacton-On-Sea,
And he’s UKIP’s new Westminster thug.

Polls show that our voters can’t choose,
Between two political crews,
But whether the winners,
Are Blueshirts or Shinners,
We all know that Ireland will lose.

It’s almost that time of the year,
When Noonan bestows festive cheer,
By throwing some gold,
At the rich and the old,
And pretending he isn’t austere.

The accountants are looking askance,
At a loss making theme park in France,
Don’t let Mickey Mouse,
Get kicked out of his house,
Let’s give the poor guy one last chance.

It seems that whenever you choose,
To stock up on underpriced booze,
Then poor Michael Creed,
Will be angry indeed,
As he thinks the exchequer will lose.

Much to Ming Flanagan’s grief,
And good old Phil Hogan’s relief,
He slapped down a Shinner,
And came out a winner,
By making sure he knew his brief.

I’m drawing a line, I must say,
At National Poetry Day,
‘Cause poems I fear,
Are just a bit queer,
And reading them’s totally gay.

Some scary news from the U.S.,
Where officials have had to confess,
That Ebola’s crept in.
Does the end now begin?
No. That’s the doctors’ best guess.

It’s sounds like some terrible dream,
But the government have a new scheme,
It may seem quite odd,
But they’re taking on God,
So they want all of us to blaspheme.
