Mr Rhubarb
Song for politicians (wine & cheese update)
There's a...
Great view from my Ivory Tower
The window is frosted, but I still feel the power.
Got my...
Savile suite so I feel the part
But I like to pretend I got it straight from Primark
I feed my…
Flock through the magical lense
My sincere smile upon your telly transcends
And I'm…
Fully trained not to give a straight answer
I could win a prize for the best verbal dancer!
So here's to you..
(Chorus)
F@ck the country and its hopes and dreams
Got my agenda and political schemes
I'm Mr Rhubarb, dya know what that means
I'll tell you anything you want to believe!
My face is friendly, but I don't give a F@ck
What's it to me if you're down on your luck?
Look to the mirror and what do I see?
A thing of beauty, it's political me!
I'll try to…
change you and your general persuasion
With a full guarantee I'll put my cap on inflation
I'll give…
You a vote on matters of note
But send out a veto if it sticks in my throat
I'm the…
Best man, for the whole of the nation
I'll syphon your cream while you're under sedation
I'm your…
MP with some bullshit degree,
With an OMG through to IDC
So here's to you…
(Chorus)
And, the best wine & cheese
Is my favourite thing
Who cares about lockdown
Let's dance & sing!
The plebs may be dying
But, I make the rules
Of course, I don't follow them
Rules are for fools!
Just do as we say
Not as we do
We're privileged politicians
Not commoners like you!
Just stay where you are
Beneath my shiny shoe
And remember I'm always here
Just not for f@cking you!

Thanks Stephen, I love this-so powerful and validating! I feel this all rings very true-especially while politicians keep changing their minds every day with the approach they are taking to managing covid -19. Why are politicians leading this and not health professionals? Some good humour in this poem. Well done!
Best wishes,
Rasa
