God Save The Gammon

They pine for days that never really were
Through nicotine teeth and stale ale slur
Where blackface clowns and monkey chants
Still echo loud in bitter rants

Winter snow was whiter, summer days so long 
They hum some half remembered song
No climate lies, no “woke” offence,
just ignorance dressed up as sense

They clutch their flags like sacred skin,
wrap rot and rage and hate within
A pint, a bet, a Brexit cheer, the future\'s bleak and still they sneer

Stagnant days spent waiting,
wishing something meaningful to happen
Pints, regrets and the stench of gammon
