a seat in the lords

how could I ridicule
those protectors of the poor
so recently devalued by
Rifkind and Straw
so willing to help companies
from a foreign shore
undercut British companies
in a contracts war
they do so little
and so ensure
there outside interests
can earn them more
with all their expenses
and directorships galore
they still want to be honoured
with a seat next door
