Let Them Pack and Go

Let's tell those who spoil us with metaphor That we're logical enough to understand their error If turning a rotten situation into a bad one Is to them a testimonial worthy of approbation They have simply made it very clear And we too are very much aware That we're in a rotten situation In which we need absolute solution If a rotten apple can spoil a whole barrel These rotten apples have put us over a barrel And when to their opponents they think they appel It's sad that they always scrape the bottom of the barrel We agree that this septennial reign Has put us in a rotten situation we don't desire again Absent of good hands, they're fostering a bad one Cos they know themselves, they laughed over the pun Alas! They've concluded that the masses have no choice And in the coming election the masses won't have a voice They'll be shocked the election will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys And the victory for the masses' Labour will be like abcs What is the difference between a rotten apple and a bad one? While the former infects others with his corruption The Latter will be a tough row to hoe Lest we fall into deep water, it's better to let them pack and go.
