OUR SAVIOUR FROM THE TORIES
(6 May 2010, general election date announced)

Sad profile of my bank account,
the complete texture of my life;
He’s sheltered me from much self-harm
by taxes, excised with state knife.

With His moonlight, in soft focus,
He spin doctors and tells us lies;
on balance I’m much better off.
Oh look, there is a pig that flies !

In short cameo performance,
He pretends he’s minister, Prime,
dispelling my prosperity :
Please, River Thames, drown His foul crime.

Alan McAlpine Douglas

Challenge words : profile texture shelter
moonlight balance cameo dispel river

Alan, Leo, I think Alan understood perfectly what I was implying. I suffer thru very little political junk as I refuse to watch or read anything about it, it all seems nothing but rhetoric or lies, just let me get my hand on the public milk tit and watch me go... I for one am very tired of it, I think we need to vote them all out of office and put in someone else even if it is a write in name write in the name of someone you trust, a mayor maybe, even a school counselman. Maybe the guy that runs the local pub, at least he would understand finaces, and commerce and people. Anyone with common sense can get the country running they just need the backing of the voters. and if you don't vote then don't complain. I voted for Obama and he sure isn't the man I thought he would be once he got in office. I don't think one in ten americans understand his health plan that he just forced thru. I think he is driving up costs, instead of making a better work place, lets all ship the work to china and when we need a work force to go to war why we'll just buy the stuff from the chinese... you know the old saying about you pay for what you get, well we are paying and what we got is cheap shit, no jobs, no health care worth a damned, and a president spending money our children will take the rest of their life to pay back, I say lets put on import taxes bring the jobs back to the states and give america the right to work with decent pay, just expect the price of everything to jump up at the same time.
You know I tried to contact my representative to congress and was told I couldn't speak with him cause he didn't have time for me..well guess what when he is voted out of office, I bet he finds the time then. I say to all Americans, don't like what is going on try calling your congress man or senator see if they will talk to you...if not vote them out next election. that will send a loud clear message to politicians.
