To Trough is Human, to Steal Devine,
All Things Brown and Beautiful,
All claimants large and small,
All acts wise and wonderful,
The Lord Brown made them all.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He taxed them, high or lowly,
And nicked their entire estate.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And blogs that we might tell
How great is Brown Almighty,
Who has made all things go so well.
The Rt Hon. Gordon Brown will lead the faithful in Songs of Praise this week.
Mr Aaqil Ahmed is the new head of religious broadcasting.
Jim Devine’s affairs have been referred to the Metropolitan Police.
To blog in this, the Age of Revelation, is truly to receive manna from heaven.
OK, morning service is over, you can go off to the pub now.
Stick a fiver in the collection plate as you leave.

I can’t believe Gordon is doing God – even Tony knew that was a tricky path.
If Blair was the vicar, Brown is the bumbling warden who gets all chippy

I can’t wait to see Oor Gordy on Songs of Praise! I’ve had my Thora Hird perm re-crimped especially and I’ve heard a rumour that the Kickin’ Kirk Kazoo Orchestra will be performing a mould-breaking arrangement of Fight the Good Fight. Essential viewing.

How do regular church attending folk feel about gordy using S.o.P
for his ‘big up brown’ campain ?
Oh how i laughed when i read his quote about being a
bad communicator and presenter of information, but then went on to say he could leave politics and be a teacher ! -

Your song brought a big smile to my face – terrific, specially as I’ve just got back from a funeral up-country.
