KENNY

entry picture

Ken says to us,

“Why all the fuss?

I don’t understand.

It’s hardly big news –

My thoughts on the Jews and

Their Promised Land.

I simply pointed out that Hitler wanted that too.”

How stupid of you;

You don’t have a clue;

Kenny.

 

It might have been dead and

All put to bed by

Bradford’s Naz Shah;

She offered MPs

Apologies

And blah blah-di-blah;

We all thought Labour had it covered and suppressed

They’d put it to rest;

But Jezza’s all stressed;

Kenny.

 

We thought “It’s ended” but

Red Ken went off his nut;

We told him “Keep it shut.

Don’t do it.  Don’t do it.  Don’t do it.

 

So just when you thought that

Corbyn had caught

Up in the polls

A racialist tit

Ups and spoils it and

Scores an own goal;

You’d think he’d keep his gob shut and show some commonsense

But he’s in suspense

For being so dense;

Kenny.

◄ IT'S ALL OVER NOW, BABY BLUE

SHOULD WE STAY OR SHOULD WE GO? ►

MC, I already have a referendum parody in the oven, so to speak, which will be presented on here shortly.
On the Jezza/Ken matter, I love these political paradoxes whereby uncritical followers of (in this case) the left don't know what to think. Do hardliners side with Jezza or with Ken; Tommy (below) obviously didn't know.

JC - I saw "Red Ken" on a late night political programme
very recently and was impressed to see him stand to
attention and mouth the words when Katherine Jenkins
sung the national anthem. Perhaps remembering Corbyn
not doing likewise.
if you join a disciplined UK force to serve "Queen
and Country" then the oath of allegiance is enshrined in
the procedures. Elsewhere, it is modified to suit the
accepted constitutional arrangements of a country and
its history - as in the USA among others. When in Rome...?
I know the tune but not its name. At least the content
of your blog didn't encourage the use of "The Leader
Of The Pack"! :-)

Hello MC,
I've never had much time for Livingstone. But he and Corbyn are meant to be political allies. I bet Corbyn could murder him right now.
I've just read Allegiance. As you might expect I disagree with the premise but still enjoyed the discipline of the poem.
Are you familiar with this tune? Twinkle's 1964 motorbike accident song, "Terry".

JC - whatever the pros and cons in this "free speech"
spat (we're all too busy tip-toing around other folks'
sensibilities nowadays), you are, as usual, right on the
money with both rhyme and presentation.
Talent ( encouraging a wry chuckle) is always to be welcomed. Thanks.

So whose position do you support on this, Tommy? Kenny's or Jezza's?

Not all Jews are Israelis and not all Israelis are Jews.
