Turkeys

A Brief Guide to the Tories
As practised in the UK
Grab what you can
Shall be the way

Life at the top
Seems to be a farce
When progress is made
By kissing ****

Brown paper envelopes 
From he who affords
Can secure a seat
In the House of Lords.

Cutting benefits
While all the while
Heaping honours 
On the Tax Exile

Look after their own 
Seems the creed
Charity is there 
For those in need.

The country run by
Ex red top hack
In what’s known as 
Getting a country back

Turkeys voted for Christmas
Don't assume they always wll
So while we're in power 
Get your fingers in the till

Grab what you can 
Shall be the way
We’ll take our chances
Come Judgement Day.

Written in the time of the unlamented Boris Johnson, but still relevant
