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 Alan;
I can certainly identify with your exasperation with the 'powers that be'. The obvious sarcasm and disdain should have great universal appeal to 'everyman' ... which I am.  'rum ······· ······· Values are to integrity as spirit to spirituality ... the one is needed that the other is sustained ~ Sam
