better in better out

better in better out

the Tories on Britannia
- or -
2 parties for the price of 1

relief at Aphrodisias

so Britannia this Carian
tableau of your subjugation
by Claudius the God was
a first appearance in sculpture

the meekness of the model whose
crookèd arms & open breast lack
of body armour or rancour
predict what time made manifest

when Hardy kissed Lord Nelson's cheek
the victimhood England expects
transcends all stabs of Netflix sex
for bronze or marble which at least

have the flint of Amazon zeal
uphold your pose as murderee



the yukkie bookie

you stick your right wing in
your right wing out
in out
& shake it all about
you do the yukkie bookie
and you turn around
that's what it's all about

oh oh the yukkie bookie
oh oh the yukkie bookie
oh oh the yukkie bookie
downtown
turnaround
town let's go

you stick your left wing in
your left wing out
in out
& shake it all about
you do the yukkie bookie
and you turn around
that's what it's all about

oh oh the yukkie bookie
oh oh the yukkie bookie
oh oh the yukkie bookie
downtown
turnaround
town don't go




the last refugee

I wish the doctor were here
who tick Johnson diction ear
sorry not you Boris dear

Tory king of satire cheer
up this reader with warm beer
then haul in old Britannia

whose leaking hulk rules off-shore
through waves of bankrupting whores
that throw themselves on her laws

always been with us those poor
slaves to the stock exchange floor
toss them a line make them share

holders of the common fare

ground like scoundrels in the dirt
