What You See Is What You Get’s
A snappy little phrase,
But what you see, in politics,
Will vanish in the haze.
What you’ll get, in actual fact,
Will come out of left field:
You won’t know what until it hits,
When all will be revealed.
By then it will be far too late,
The trap has closed its doors
And you’ll be shackled, hand and foot,
By unexpected laws
That no-one ever voted for.
Who cares, Labour or Tory?
Democracy’s the Elite’s sham.
You’ve had it – end of story.
Now here's a definition of MACHO
I've never ever heard before
“Male Acting Childish, Hormonal, and Obnoxious”
When I read it, I started thinking of more
There's the ever popular ROTFLMAO
Everybody certainly knows this one
“Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off”
Used in emails to express some fun
ANFSCD is really a new one on me
“And Now For Something Completely Different”
Originally from a Monte Python skit
At times they were a wee bit irreverent
WYSIWYG is an acronym for
“What You See Is What You Get”
Makes a lot of sense, should be no confusion
But it can still make some people fret
Here's a good one, TNSTAAFL
“There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch”
Once you realize that, you'll be better prepared
It'll help you a whole great big bunch
This here's a real cute one, SHIAPMP
“So Happy I Almost Peed My Pants”
Was thinking because I used the word 'pee'
Should have warned you guys in advance!

so rarely about what we see -
more the mood evoked in me
