Oh why, oh why, the 4th of July

thoughts poetry

[In the style of the Gunpowder Plot Rhyme]

Oh why, oh why, the 4th of July,

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

A mandate the Tories have not.

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

They called an election

I see no reason

Without introspection

Why gunpowder treason

Like a lettuce head left there to rot.

Should ever be forgot.

Sunak, oh Sunak, ’twas it his intent

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes">Guy Fawkes</a>, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent

To lose their control of the Parliament?

To blow up the King and the Parliament

Just four score seat left to bestow

Three score barrels of powder below

And a 14 year run gone in one throw

Poor old England to overthrow

Through rain-soaked speech his will was dispatched

By God's providence he was catch'd

With no plan in sight their hopes all but dashed

With a dark lantern and burning match

Ho Starmer and Davey, let the bells ring

Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring

Ho Starmer and Davey

Holler boys, holler boys

God save the king!

God save the King!
