OUR SAVIOUR FROM THE TORIES, Political posturing Options

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

Dear Leo and Sam,

Thank you both for the comments.

Leo, no problem with the "hijacking", as long as discussion is held in a civilised way. I think tho that all that needs to be said has now been said.

I should also note that politics and religion can be very hot topics, and, as you have pointed out twice, I managed to mix them together here, in my defence I will claim that it it to highlight my sulphuric satire intent !

Steve, your response was perfectly OK with me, in that you correctly pointed out that you hold similar views in your country.

Sam, thank you, I accept the world's plaudits as embodied by you !

Love
Alan
