POSH

 

Have you ever used a bidet

For washing feet or bits?

Or played a round of croquet

Had high tea at the Ritz?

 

Are you good with 12 bore shotguns

When on a peasant shoot?

Is your name too double barrelled

Are your family full of loot?

 

Have you eaten oysters, caviar

Or used a butter knife?

Do you know what canapes are

Are Defenders on your drive?

 

Is there a grand piano

In your drawing room or hall?

Is your art work Donatello

Is pashmina in your shawl?

 

Do you discuss the big issue

Use the royal we or one

At Ascot will we miss you

Is your island in the sun?

 

Do gentry all look down

From your portraits on the wall

Whilst you just snort and frown

When the homeless come to call?

 

You pay the piper, call the tune

But never take the blame

Your mouth is stuffed with silver spoon

Your nanny’s on the game.

 

It’s not you that I really hate

But how you came to be

We live in such inequal state

Our mock democracy.

 

For white men pay for learning

Law degrees and bonus pay

Then take their obscene earnings

To live the entitled way.

 

Let’s never let the Eton boys

In cravat, shirt and gown

Play with us like children’s toys

While running poor lives down.

 

So stand up for those without a voice

Who have no bank of dad

Who left with so little choice

Vote Tory as a fad.

 

Let’s flatten out the playing field

Our kingdom ununited

A kinder world we all can build

Where all can be invited.
