First-Class Stamp of Authority (in homage to those affected by the Horizon/Post Office scandal)

A sour taste, on the envelope,

I’m sure I sampled theft,

as I sent, I saw their hope,

being doubled checked,

by a new Horizon,

sanction made,

too much revision,

overpaid,

 

Let art recreate life,

tell the story of their strife,

a vote of thanks to ITV,

for a first-class stamp of authority,

 

Letters poured in, at number ten,

and some at Buck House,

see what happens when,

a regime turns into louse,

skint ignored,

all the time,

those on board,

commit the crime,

 

Let art recreate life,

tell the story of their strife,

a vote of thanks to ITV,

for a first-class stamp of authority,

 

Pats on the back, do abhor,

such a putrid company,

but rightful voices, on the floor,

rescinded CBE,

thus, Charlie third,

remember this,

don’t be absurd

with your honours list,

 

for let art recreate life,

recall the story of wrong and right,

this lesson taught, in history,

a first-class stamp of authority!
