If this continues . . .
. . . I mean . . . it just can’t!
The key please.
Has it has come to that?
Of course it has . . .
We sent him to Davos to be generous
and he causes an OAS crisis . . .
Cutting so deep, all Switzerland wept,
And I mean WEPT, for us.
“For heaven’s sake, Stephen!”
And who allowed him to parley abroad
those wicked ideas that shame us at home?
An opportunistic creep . . .
They’ll think we raised an opportunistic creep.
Stephen, how could you?
Suggesting we stop medicating the elderly . . .
You, who profess life sacred, even that of the unborn?
You would forsake the grey in their dotage . . .
You dare suggest we’re too poor to care them?
What?
Feed them Purina so you can cut taxes?
Who do you care for, Stephen –
The tycoons with bills burgeoning from their follicles?
Meanwhile, to the Greeks you prescribe diving headlong into hell.
Stephen,
Without sensitivity, you,
And because of you, WE,
won’t be welcome on foreign shores.
Those retired hairdressers — your “root of all excess,”
They’ll have their scissors out.
This is not how you stop the beast wars, Stephen!
Lord help us!
With you as helmsman
Gaia is as good as lost.
Goodness, Stephen, where is your governor?
Your behaviour is simply . . .
Simply . . . shock doctrine!
