The Political Party Not In Power

>It is very late at night, or very early in the morning. Whichever way you look at it. The date is 13/07/2016 and a time 01:34 AM. I cannot sleep and was listening and still am to hospital radio Ipswich. When a certain item of news caught my attention and the following I had to write, and post on BBC news Facebook page. Stanley Harris Tut tut I hear the voting rules have been changed.. The goalposts have been moved. Just heard it on the Hospital radio Ipswich. Don't fret fans I am at home. However I tune into them for the soothing night time music. want to know in a poetic way what I heard? No! Well tough, read no further lol. As I cannot sleep and am in poetic flow. And yes have taken me meds before you ask lol The political party not in power The political party not in power. Has moved the goalposts, you know. You cannot join the club and vote straight away you know. But bless, they take your money. You donate straight away. But of a leader's vote, there is now no sight. They altered the rule book for six months from today. So you don't vote for Jeremy. And that's not right, I say. MPs can do almost anything. That we MPs, (Members of the Public,) cannot do. But just remember they are like us. All have to use a loo. And that fact is, the blinking truth. I am telling you. (The mad author) ooo0ooo Of course, it goes without saying it will be in my poems book 10. And I have just heard Elvis singing, 'are you lonesome tonight,' which took me straight back to my military days in Germany, where we listened to it repeatedly every night on a jukebox in the NAAFI mess.<
