IT'S CUMMINGS' HOME
(On the altar of poetic licence I have sacrificed the grammatically correct "Cummings's" for the grammatically incorrect "Cummings')
It’s Cummings’ Home
It’s Cummings’ Home
That farm was Old Man Cummings’ Home
(*2)
Talk about staying in your home
Don’t go out and don’t roam
Isolate on your own
You’re instructed to keep in confines
Or else risk a fine
Unless you’re this swine
Whose attitude is
“Laws for me get quashed
They are just applying
To The Great Unwashed
They must be complying.
Talk about graft in politics
The worst example it’s
This hypocrite
As now we see him brazenly stare out
Publicity’s glare
Cos Cummings don’t care while he’s still thinking
“You at home are stuck
With fever coughs and sneezes
But I don’t give a fuck”
He does as he pleases.
Talk about relatives who die
No chance to say Goodbye,
Hold their hand as we cry;
But we were told to follow advice
Stay inside your high rise
Pay a terrible price
But not for Cummings
He got in his car
Not for him this hassle
Waved us all ta-ta
Drove to Barnard Castle
It’s Cummings’ Home
It’s Cummings’ Home
That farm was Old Man Cummings’ Home
Talk about Barnard Castle’s ride
Well, laugh? I nearly cried
So plain that he lied;
And Boris thinking “This is a wreck
Now it’s all out of check
But I’m up to my neck
Supporting Cummings:
I can’t sack him now
This is not good timing
I’ve backed him in this row
I need him resigning”
But he’s played you for a clown
Holding up two fingers
As still he doubles down
Bare-faced as he lingers
“It’s Cummings’ home
My old man’s home
That farm was Old man Cummings’ home”
We don’t believe (*4)

It may be many things, Po, but masterpiece is not one of them. Thanks for the compliment, though.
