Tangerine or Tandoori Tan Man - full version

Tandoori or Tangerine Tan?

Mister rich lister Blister

Sinister Mandarin Minister


Sin..Spin & Chagrin Talisman

Jaundice scrotum prejudice totem

Podium pandemonium
 
Needs Imodium...feeds Opprobrium 

As this git did his bit 

To ensure the sh*t hit the fan



Satsuma Tumour

Sense of Humour?

That Groomer Rumour


Cometh the Hour

Cometh the TAN


People Power Glower should Flower

But proles at the polls sold their Souls

To joust like Faust

Ignore Marcel Proust

Cower before the Ivory Tower


Odd bod elite’s law 

Tweets of Sod and God

No Enlightening


Pot..black..kettle

Debauched cheats pedal to the metal

Plot to settle that score

Scorched and torched serfs

Any petal in fine fettle

& the earth's core


Repeats the prism

Or algorithm beats
 
Every criticism schism 

“Ism”..a frightening..lightning rod


On your tod..just nod

Seedier greedier leaders

Stun..Shun the Needier

Not just down trodden

Sodden...run roughshod


Beseech each of those down 

In the Dumps Chumps who chose

Plumps for stealthy

Leeches who teaches 

Fools at our schools

Only the wealthy can stay healthy


No education for the nation

Abuses..eschews the media..then sues

Each reader…forsakes news as fake

To restore order…close the border

Slews and screws puny Uni’s views


Cohorts of suits distort

Court the last resort

Damnation of immigration

Onslaught in cahoots cavort


Pander to propaganda slander

Escort darker fraught faces

From other races caught

To starker places shunted

Hunted like a sort of sport 


History debunked

“Before” skunked & kerplunked

Lore of Yore junked


Fossil fuel full sumps

Well More is More

Trees flump become clumps 

Of gnarly snarly stumps

Petrol pumps pour

Sheriffs thumps grumps

Tariffs Gazumps…prices soar


Still hope we can cope

With the nope

Don’t give a damn plan

From that Tandoori tan

Obscene Tangerine dope

Jackanory Mandarin Man


That trope..like to be Pope

Go out on a limb..got the vim..scope 

To make him of the grim...dim..whim..mope

Just give Mr Grope enough Rope


Opined women..a frump 

If they mind.. some bump & grind

Half inching while pinching their rump


The darkness descends


Besotted with anything cosseted

Rotted or garrotted by design

But sign on the dotted line

Raise a 'Stein" of wine


Knaves..slaves.. saved

From the craze & blaze 

Of this moral maze & haze

Extinguished by depraved waves 

From distinguished graves


It all ends thanks to a bit of help

From olden golden friends
