Poem
Tony Blair, Tony Blair, where have you been? You’ve not been coming to London to visit the Queen But you had seemed so close, meeting weekly when you were PM You with your cheesy fake smile, waiting around For her to put on the right crown I wonder all those times you met if she bothered or care or know Just what kind of bloke you always were Despite Alistair Campbell’s keep clean ‘Teflon Tony’ plan The Queen clearly wasn’t born yesterday Or was she happy just to ride the wave of someone else’s ‘popularity rate’ Remember the New Year at the O2, Oh! Those heady days.... Sorry Tony, no more invites, now it all about Wills n’ Kate.....(and boy is that working well!!) In popularity stakes you have been right ‘royally’ replaced And the cause? I think it might now be the sight of your face, still free One that for far too many, the world over, spoils every day Did you think ‘Project Tony’ would work? That you could f*ck us all up, make the world worse That all we could do in response was curse? While you rode off into the sunset with a SERIOUSLY richer future than you had before Although I don’t think ‘Anthony’ that you were ever poor Thinking yourself immune from prosecution for your actions before Christ knows you spent enough of our tax payers’ money trying to making sure And then went straight into a top job working for business, meddling in lands ravaged by war Seems that’s what you were born for To appear now and then featured in the press from afar Making comment, sticking your nose into our country Which you have made such a mess by favouring business The rich now richer and the poor having so much less Nothing was sacred to you, not even the NHS Remember how it used to be before ‘Tony’s Targets’? Did you ever envision a time when you would be personified with devils horns And under threat of citizens arrest by those who think you guilty of war crimes Although unlike some of the countries in which you now shimmy and slide We would at least grant you a fair trail (Please continue to part 2 of 2, thank you)
