IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE

Jesus! I can't write fast enough to keep up with events on the ground.  She's gone!

 

I gave my solemn oath

To you for Growth, Growth, Growth

I couldn’t then conceive

That it was only make believe.

 

The higher rate of income tax

I pledged that I’d relax

No VAT for tourists to GB

And income tax at 19p

I promised that I’d lose

The duty on your booze

And that I’d also end

The tax on dividends

But it’s only make believe.

 

The 2-year cap I put on energy

A promise that will never be

The plan that I’d relax

The Corporation Tax

Not scrapped but even worse

I’ve jammed it in reverse

No public service cuts

(You must have thought we're nuts!)

But it’s only make believe.

 

I’d need a fall-guy quick and so

Queezie was the first to go

Then consigning to the bin

That Floella Benjamin

So now I put up front

Young Mordaunt and that Hunt

The power lies with them

I pretend to be PM

But it’s only make believe.

Possibly, MC.
Personally, on one level I am sad to see her go. I liked the way her titties jiggled when she walked on stage. I shall miss that.

"Victim syndrome" eh? Just because we think they're out to get
us doesn't mean they're not! 😐

Could be, MC. It’s called Victim Syndrome. It’s when you see everyone else as the authors of our misfortune rather than taking responsibility for yourself.
And thanks for the Like, Holden.

Fun as usual -and I always liked the other Twitty version!!.
But I'm concerned about "...and so (sic) Queezie had to so" -
apropos your previous post. 😋.
Politically speaking -
There's a question hotly burning -
How come this lady was for turning?
Should we suspect that anything global
Disguises motives far from noble,,,
And that the beleagured nation state
Is beset and besieged by hidden hate?. 😐

As a Labour supporter, Graham, I am a bit concerned at the clamour among opposition parties for a General Election. It won’t happen, of course, but it would be a good one to lose. None of the problems we face will magically disappear because of a change of government.

But I won’t let this stop me writing - I’m a fighter not a quitter.

I can’t believe how fast things happened. As soon as I had posted it Our Gert told me she’d resigned. But I won’t let this stop me writing - I’m a fighter not a quitter.
And thanks for the Likes, Flyntland and Stephen A.

Thanks for the Like, Frederick. She is obviously running scared of my song going viral!
