The Frog No 1 and No 2 and the Beast
They opened Pandora’s box
For their own vested interests and political gain:
Frog the Nigel and Frog the Gove
Pulled a wool over common folks’ eyes
With their lies “Fear not!
Just vote us out of Europa!”
“Once out of Europa, we will carry our England on our backs
To Americas!”
So the poor folks listened to them and cast their votes out of Europa
Soon to their dismay, they found out that the frogs were a pair of incompetent in-posters
incapable of carrying vast amount
Of our glorious land to America
On their backs
Then the folks disowned the frogs
In secret
But frogs knew this to be the post truth
So that with terror in their hearts, they ran to newly minted
Orange beast in Americas
They knelt down in the golden elevator
And kissed the orange beast- Trump’s ruby ring.
They begged the beast to kiss them back
So that they would turn into princes
“You are doing great!”
The beast shrugged them off his rings,
The frogs came back to motherland
Reported that the beast promised us the Americas.
But this time common folks refused to believe the
Deplorable frogs and kicked them back into the mud.
And this is the true meaning of post truth.
