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

Let’s Start Again – a Poem by the Sixty Second Scribe

Let’s start again - a poem by the sixty second scribe
And so a Coronation
For the man to lead our nation
He’s selected, not elected 
And so mandate he has none. 
Two hundred and nineteen voices spoke
A vile and unrepresentative joke
It’s proof that our democracy is broke
And so mandate he has none 
And were the members to be polled
Sunak wouldn’t have taken gold
They had to make the others fold
And so mandate he has none 
But before Sunak can do his thing
He has to go and meet the king 
He’s inherited, not elected
And so mandate he has none.  
It’s time - the mountain must be scaled
Tear it all down - it’s sadly failed
Till a worthy constitution’s unveiled 
And democracy has begun 

Decaying Ever, Ever On – a Poem by The Sixty Second Scribe

Decaying ever, ever on - a poem by the sixty second scribe
The pm claims integrity
Then appoints the one who’d happily
See refugees drown out at sea 
And our decay goes ever, ever on 
Sacked just days ago for breaks
To ministerial code, he shakes
his head, defends, ignores the stakes
And our decay goes ever, ever on 
One who dreams of deportation
Shames this once proud welcoming nation 
Stoking national stagnation 
And our decay goes ever, ever on
Claims that lessons have been learnt
Clearly lies - more bridges burnt
Positions bought but never earned
And our decay goes ever, ever on
That he lied’s already clear
Which marks him out as Johnson’s peer
And leaves an atmosphere of fear
As our decay goes ever, ever on
