Dong But Not For Long

They clapped a clock At noon today. Some gave applause, Some yelled "Hooray" Some others weeped, They shed a tear, We no longer Big Ben will hear. For four long years Silence will reign In Westminster But there's no pain Busses will pass MPs will sleaze Time will just pass Like a summer breeze What will the Beeb Do 'fore the news Just shout six bongs? Give us a clue! And at midnight Will there be nought Instead of chimes, Just silence caught? It's not the end As some would say, Sobbing, wailing, Grieving away. It will be back, In a few years, So stop grieving, Give it three cheers!. Its just a bell that makes a "dung" It's not yet war with Kim Jong-un. There's so much more We need to fix So just forget Big Ben at Six.
