Sam Cam

Sam Cam what did you do?
Baked cakes on the telly
Made the tea (once)
At election time 
Tell us your husband was great 
Made sure you wore designer clothes
On every date
Fronted up a business so 
Your husband could tell us the 
Economy had not laid waste

You never spoke (bit like ‘Princess Kate’)
Never cared
About those who are struggling 
In so many ways 
We never saw you helping the poor 
Petitioning your husbands or his
Insidious globalisation friends 
To help keep the wolves from our door 

And as for those tax haves....no
Think what you could have done for this country 
Also supposed to be yours
With your unrestricted access 
To the world of the important 
And all that pillow talk.... 

But maybe we never got to see
What use you could really be 
If only your dear husband had been caught
With his pants down
Maybe a prossie, a rent boy
Or one of your own 

When you would have been 
Right at the fore 
Convincing us that your husband was 
A wonderful man 
Ready, willing and capable 
To lead the country once more

But there you were 
On DC’s last day
Designer dress
Head on one side
Eyes sad
Looking concerned 

Sam Cam 
If that’s all you’re good for 
Let me say 
I’m glad that both you and your husband 
Have been sent on their way
Because if that’s all you can do 
As a British woman
You’ve failed!
