David Cameron and the Middle Class Lass

David Cameron and The Middle Class Lass

She was ‘ordinary’, ‘middle class’ a ‘one of us’ kind of lass
Or at least that’s how she was presented through the rose tinted glass

And the message that was there was hope for us all
That we too could go to the ball
And we watched and watched and waited and waited 
And she even earned the nick-name ‘Waitie Katie’

But somehow despite this perfect vision 
We weren’t allowed to hear

Because when she spoke it was loud and clear
That this middle class lass 
The one we had only spied through the rose tinted glass
Was nothing of the sort  
(And thinking for oneself is something that we are no longer taught)

Then the lone voice of Hilary Mantel spoke  
And it seemed like the window was about to be broke

But her saviour, Mr Cameron, did not wait
Or hesitate 
He knew just what to do to preserve the myth
He simply called her Princess Kate.
