Running out of Gates
Partygate, Covidgate,
Brexitgate too.
We’re running out of gates
What we gonna do?
Clear out Number 10
Sacking all the staff.
Leave the main culprit!
He’s having a laugh!
Energygate, taxgate
Sleazegate as well.
The cost of living
Is sending us to hell.
He’s got oven-ready plans
World-beating schemes.
It’s all global problems
And never what it seems.
Lobbygate, PPEgate
Second jobs too!
They’re pulling in the millions!
But what about me and you?
Opher – 6.2.2022
We’re in a crisis!! It’s one that we made ourselves! We voted in a bunch of self-serving incompetent wankers.
They’ve been looking after their own, making billions out of PPE contracts, second jobs, illegal lobbying, money for questions, donations for favours and off-shore schemes.
They’ve been avoiding tax, refurbishing flats, taking lavish holidays and laying plans for a revolving door into a world of luxury.
Covid and Brexit have been a bonanza for them!
Working from the Caribbean on their second jobs, moving their firms abroad, setting up their Cayman accounts – no wonder they’re partying!!
Never has there been so much sleaze, corruption and incompetence.
Brexit is costing us £30 billion a year.
Prices are rising.
Energy costs, fuel costs, inflation, tax hikes.
Nothing to do with them!!
Opher – I read your enjoyable poem and thought Billy Joel would have had another verse for We Didn’t Start the Fire selectively using your words.
The only problem is, ‘we’ did start the fire by voting this shit-show into power. But let’s be honest, all governments, not matter how successful they appear to be, are all corrupt, and whilst that in itself is no defence, surely it shows that there are no effective restraints to stop the insidiously greedy being evermore needy for even more wealth.

The wealthy are out of control and have nothing but contempt for ‘ordinary’ people. They are bloated sharks who need to be put on a severe diet.
