THE TORY DANCE

No sooner had I written this than others joined the dance!.

 

I thought I saw a line of self-serving chaps

There was Tugendaht, Zahawi, Javid and Grant Shapps,

Mordaunt, Sunak and Badenoch plus

Jeremy Hunt, Braverman, Liz Truss;

Each one making the most of their stance

Pushing and shoving in the Tory Dance.

 

They distanced themselves from Johno’s legacy,

Emphasing each their integrity,

Many hoping that we’d forget

They’d propped him up in his Cabinet;

“But no” they say, “we weren’t sycophants”

So take your partners for the Tory Dance.

 

The press were all there to observe this fun

Searching their cupboards for a skeleton;

Raking muck trying to find in hope

Tax evasion or salacious grope;

Had they kept their bits in their pants

Before competing in the Tory Dance.

 

Each will try to run the other through

Before they end up with the final two;

Then they’ll kiss and make up again

Pretending they are really best of friends;

Make no mistake though each takes their chance

At stamping on toes in the Tory Dance.

Thankyou, Stephen. I was particularly happy with finding the word “sycophants” which was a perfect match of sense, rhythm and rhyme. Nevertheless I expect Terry Wogan is spinning in his grave.
And thanks for the Likes, Hugh, Holden and Stephen A.
