Gordon, Gordon turning right.
Now to Harmanise your plight
To Abraham, from God was given
cash aplenty, no discretion.
On the Rock they queued and cued
You stumbled while more debt accrued.
Two slipped discs laid you more low.
A few Watts more and you will go.
Gordon, Gordon's fading might.
Sleepless times again tonight.
Mendelssohn composed a letter.
Made things worse instead of better.

Hi Clarissa
No. This is about Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister who took over from Tony Blair.
At the moment he is stumbling from crisis to crisis. His political party (The Labour Party) recieved about $1.3m from a supporter who gave the money in the names of other people. That is illegal under our system.
Recently a government department lost the personal and bank information of 25m people on 2 computer discs they put in the post without encription or security (two slipped discs).
'The Rock is Northern Rock, a bank which got into terrible financial problems from the sub prime crisis and the Government has lent it about $50billion and more to come, without much idea of how it will get the money back.
Watt was the General Secretary of the Labour Party who was forced to resign over the donations scandal.
Mendelsohn is the chief fund raiser for the Labour Party.
The reason the poem is called Annie Versary is a silly little joke. It was written on the 250th anniversary of the birth of William Blake the poet who wrote 'Tyger, tyger burning bright'. Blake was a radical and the 'tygers' in that poem were people who represented a threat to government of the time because they wanted a revolution like the one in France. I was parodying his poetic form to imply (quite falsely I'm afraid) that Gordon Brown should fear the public too.
By the way, Mervyn King is now the Governor of the Bank of England. Gordon Richardson retired some time ago.
Thanks for the enquiry and taking such an interest.
Malcom,is this about sir gordon richardson the goveronor of the bank of england?

Hey malcom,
thanks so much for telling me about all this.Its illegal to do that here to, but that type seem to get away with it here.Oh the slipped disc was very well crafted, ha silly me I figured he was hurt.Ah yes the sub prime deals, the scum that came up with those deals should have to take the pain on that. interesting personal info, I was renting a home for 2 years, made all payments on time, the owners had refinanced the home, to cover credit card debt, they asked me if I would mind the house /rent doubling, I said hell yes! I told them look, I know you paid off your credit cards but thats not my problem, and Im not paying for your bad debt. A few monthes later they forclosed on the house, I had already moved out. very sad deals going on out there with the sub prime, many not responsible are being hurt by it. The real threat to yours and mine governments are the banks that deal with, I believe "world banks" im still looking into it. From what I can tell we/yall/us and a few other countries, really dont own anything and really dont elect anyone. A few elite banks run it all the main governments and control all "fake paper money" and hold all the gold hostage. ah yes mervyn King, is he the one Kings college is named after?
