Unjustified Means, Unjustified Ends – a Poem by The Sixty Second Scribe

Unjustified Means, Unjustified Ends 
The MPs were prepared to support him
Because he said he could get them elected
His lack of integrity, his compulsive lies
Nothing mattered because 
He was going to get them elected 
The party were prepared to support him
Because he said he could get them elected
The lack of shame, the lack of remorse
Nothing mattered because
He was going to get them elected 
The MPs accepted that he broke every pledge
Because he said he could get them elected
Betrayals of trust, betrayals of principles
Nothing mattered because 
He was going to get them elected 
The party accepted that he expelled all the socialists
Because he said he could get them elected
Smears and accusations, reputations ruined 
Nothing mattered because 
He was going to get them elected 
And the electorate looked 
from tory to labour, and from labour to tory
And from tory to labour again, 
but already it was impossible 
To say which was which.
But nothing mattered because
He was going to get them elected

Halloween is Cancelled – Sad to Say it’s True

Halloween is Cancelled - Poem 
Halloween is cancelled
Sad to say it’s true 
But let’s review the reasons why
It’s what we’ve had to do
We can’t play apple bobbing
Or related fruit based tortures
There’s no one here to pick them
So they’re rotting in the orchards 
And wearing scary make up
In whose horrors you could bask
Isn’t so effective 
When you have to add your mask 
We can’t go trick or treating
Round our tired disheveled streets
The increase in inflation means
We can’t afford the treats 
So how about a simple step
An interim reprieve
That might just make things better
When it’s next All Hallows’ Eve
I know just what I’d like to do
To polish up my armour 
I’d think it quite a treat to go
And deselect Kier Starmer.
And then I’d get my Kirk mask
And drive to number ten 
And go all Michael Myers
On our unworthy pm
