the honest candidate

a young man with a pink rosette
came up to my door
it was an election colour
I'd never seen before


he said he was the honest party
that wouldn't tell a lie
ask me a question on anything
in honesty I will reply 

what about the NHS
will it get the funds required
and will I see improvement
before my life expires 

if you want better care
that we think you are due
well all that extra money
is going to come from you 

you must pay more for defence
if you want it to remain
and if you want fair and just laws
the funding is the same 

we could just tax more rich
but they pay sweet F.all
the highly paid accountants
got their training in Whitehall 

the poor can not escape
can not move cash off shore
must work hard in this country
so its your money we look for 

what about the American companies
can we claw some money back
you can, but then if you do
you'll get cyber attacks 

he said we should be more self reliant
buy British when we can
try to grow more food at home
and support our fisherman 

he said that he was honest
more than I expected
he shrugged and said not a chance
when I asked if he'd get elected
