on the way to Melrose

On the way to Melrose

passing through intensive care

all staff in cheap flimsy aprons

and plain surgical masks to wear

a virus spreading rapidly

for everyone to share




in Downing Street they don't give a shit

beyond the media glare

a Rose garden party

of the corrupting millionaire

there was champagne and nibbles

and some fancy party fare




Now the press are angry

backbenchers in despair

heading for local defeats

loosing councillors everywhere

official line posted on social media

to watch again, like, and share
