‘PARLIAMENT’
Parliament, Parliament
The place of rules and arguments
I thank the Lord that I’m not part
Of all that palaver in Parliament
Now politics for me is a waste of time
I’d rather have a pint or a glass of wine
You can keep your Tories, Liberals
and Green’s, Labour, UKIP and the SNP.
Question time, a live debate,
you can see it on the telly if you stay up late,
it can get quite heated, when they’re all wound up,
only a matter of time till there’s a right punch up.
Parliament, Parliament
The place of rules and arguments
I thank the Lord that I’m not part
Of all that palaver in Parliament
Brexit dominates all the headlines
At breakfast, dinner and even bedtime
With all that’s said and the silly goings on
Who needs a nightcap or a Mogadon?
So yes politics for me is a waste of time
I’d rather have a pint or a glass of wine
You can keep your Tories, Liberals
and Green’s, Labour, UKIP and the SNP.
Parliament, Parliament
The place of rules and arguments
I thank the Lord that I’m not part
Of all that palaver in Parliament!

P.S. I watched my DVD of that superb naval action film "Master and
Commander" again the other night and was delighted to note a line
of dialogue from the hero Captain Jack Aubrey which I think most appropriate to this blog.
"As rare as an honest man in Parliament".
Elsewhere, I have used the term "A Deceit of Politicians" to give this particular entity a collective reference.
