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.
