| I'VE GOT A LITTLE LIST With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan’s "Mikado" )
In the year of 2015 , re- election time comes round So I’ve got a little list - yes I’ve made this little list Of Parliamentary hopefuls, whose credentials are unsound And who never would be missed – they never would be missed.
There’s the graduate from Oxford with some vague first class degree And thinks, for ruling countries - he has some propensity All wealthy tax evaders who donate to Party coffers In the hope they’ll get a peerage - and whatever “perks” it offers But it doesn’t really help us if they’re on the Honours List For they’d none of ‘em be missed - they’d none of ‘em be missed
I’ve put them in the list, this salutary list For they never will be missed – I know they won’t be missed.
Then those friends of Party Leaders, who don’t really have a clue I think I must insist that I put them on the list. For they’d simply be the sycophantic Front Bench retinue Just nodding egotists. - I doubt if they be missed.
There are pseudo ethnic sympathisers who have one ambition To flaunt , or change the national laws and treat them with derision And those bigots who will still insist EU superiority Gives them the power to disallow our own legal authority. So it’s really quite essential that we put them on the list For they will always twist any laws that still exist.
Anti social activists - ought to be top of the list They’re just obstructionist - so they never will be missed.
But when they choose their candidates, it’s just as we suspected These are the very characters that they want to have elected. So despite those I’ve included –- even those I may have missed It ‘s just a waste of time - so I’ve become a pragmatist And accept that my objections are just there to be dismissed . I've found my Nemesis - So why should I persist?
Now I'm not a pessimist, But I think you've got the gist I can't be a nihilist So- I'm– tearing - up- my- list.

| LoL yep something I understood before I was even old enough to vote.. that our personal political views hold little credence when our nations keep electing fools to run our nations...(into the ground) Elegantly penned, and much enjoyed^^  "Où sont les neiges d'antan?"

| Ooo I wish i knew more how your government works, though i did get plenty of humor from this I expect there's little things that went over my head. Good flow though and it read well aloud. | |

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
