The floating voter song

(A timely re-post - with extra stanza - ....Add a stanza..anyone?).

I`m a floating voter

Can`t make up my mind
Who I`m going to vote for
I`m just the wavering kind,
Tory, liberal and labour
Are worried where my one vote goes,
But I`ll remain a floating voter
One of the great don`t knows.

When I`m feeling upper - classy
To the Conservatives I drift,
But when my mood is red and sassy
To the Labour side I shift.
And when I`m feeling flower-childish
I deftly to the Liberals flip.
But when I`m feeling rather wildish
I scare them with Ukip.

I`m the proud possesser 
Of an un-committed X
All the candidates are very
Anxious not to vex
Now my lady wife is having
The best time of her life.
Because they have to make a fuss of
A floating voters wife.

Ed, and Nicolas and David
They all want my mark.
That`s fine `Cause while I`ve got them worried
They`re all in the dark.
When they came to kiss the baby,
The baby was very shrewd,
She peed on Liberal and Labour,
On the Conservative she poohed.

◄ Everyone knew but me.

Hi Harry, this made me smile, like the poem song, songs like My old mans a dustman, another species under pressure at the moment!

Thanks for comment on austerity no more, yes VE stuff overlooked, glad you liked how I tied it in, cheers Jeff

You can rely on the hardline Tory
To sell you a hardship story.
And as for message from Labour:
It's guess who you might get for a neighbour.
The yellow in Liberal Democrat
Tells you all you need to know about that!
The newcomers who say "Brits - get a grip"
Are the purple in your face lot - Ukip!

Rose, John and Ken,
Thanks for the comments and particularly for the additional verses.

I like Kens reminder that it`s really the civil service that
sets the perimeters, and Roses sly settling on the colour brown....and also the different styles.

I hope we get some more

(Come on poets - there`s an election on!)

Can't make up your mind floating along?
no manifesto in tune to your song?
NO! single party can make us all comfy.
'Cause they're all, ill advised
by blokes like Sir Humphry.

To the tune "I'll soon have a luverly bunch of coconuts?"
(In the fullness of time)

Don't worry Harry your vote isn't crucial.
The Civil Service runs the economy! compiling series of directional options gleaned from facts and figures (some anticipated) leaving final choices to Governments of the day (the fall guys) for adaptation to their style of politics.

fab poem Harry.Here's a requested offering.


You can vote for their various colours
yellow,red,green or blue
its up to floating me,its up to floating you
but when electoral circus has packed up and left town
I'll guarantee the winning colours will turn to the usual-shade of brown!

Hello Harry,
I suspect you know where your vote's going already.
I can hear the strains of
"I'm the man, the very fat man
That waters the workers' beer"
in this.

The music for this one makes it...but I haven`t got the equipment to do it.
