Election Time is Here Again

Election Time is here again with promises galore,

Bogus Smiles and Perfect Hair, With Leaflets through the door.

Vote for me for a Better Life,

The usual Battle Hymn,

The Utopian Dream is up ahead,

The Day we get to Win.

Your Tax to High? We’ll bring it down,

With Cost of Living fine,

The N.H.S. is safe with us,

And Water into Wine. 

Bring your Babies, We’ll kiss some Heads,

All Cliches we adopt,

We Love ‘Adele’ for it gives us ‘Gred’,

Our Falsity never stops.

So give a Thought this Polling Day,

Those Pledges you’ll Hear and See,

The same old Guff and Oily Words ,

What Price Democracy?
