Odds bodkins, said Elissa Slotkin
How will the Democrats ever win ~
Nominate A.O.C.
Put Bernie in her tea ~
Pray Trump-hatred will never wear thin
Odds Bodkins
stupid saying
donkey braying ~
or someone praying
'Tis not for me
to judge my fellow
All I know's ~
'Tis a mighty bellow
We cowboys on this side of the pond
Get out of bed with boots and spurs on
To ride our bucking bronco golden stallions
As you mount your nags on the weak side of the ocean
Yes, we snicker as you call elevators 'lifts'
And your truckers call a semi a 'lorry'
But daring to call a cop or a smokey a 'bobby' ~
Odds bodkins, bloke! Please say that you're sorry!
