A poem for 'Dave'.


I’ve always admired Hilary Clinton. In many ways she reminds me of Gordon Brown: both were the driving forces behind astonishingly successful left-wing governments; both, despite being supreme political strategists, are people of astonishing depth, courage, determination and principle. Sadly, Barack Obama in comparison is looking increasingly like a lightweight PR professional devoid of substance and ideas. Does that remind you of anyone closer to home? I’ve not written a poem for ‘Dave’ before so here goes:

In the press a young toff name of Cameron
Generated something of a clamour. On
His views (what one knew about them):
Vapid tripe (let’s be true about them).
Empty guff that would turn B. Obama on.
