Prescott Doggerel.

Itâs an iniquitous thing to be
A two-Jag own-ing Labour man like me,
(Chauffer-driven 20 yards in case of showers)
While the Red Flag flies aloft at Prescott Towers!
Such a notorious bloke as me
Deserves to get his toilet-seats for free
After breaking one or two at Prescott Towers
While sitting on the lavatâry for hours and hours!
Grunt! Strain! Number 2, Number 3
Try as you might, you canât flush me!
Grunt! Strain! Number 2, Number 3
Try as you might, you canât flush me!
Donât charge me with hypo-crisy,
Iâm as Labour as any man could be;
Iâve never shied away from crossing swords
And Iâve always said there shouldnât be a House of Lords!
Iâve spoken out with integ-ri-ty:
âBaron Prescott? Oh, no, that wonât be me!â
âStuff your Peerage!â (and I said it in a trice),
Until, of course, dear Pauline said, âIt would be niceâ¦â
Bam! Pow! Iâm on TV! Channel 3!
See me punch a man who threw some eggs at me!
Bam! Pow! Iâm on TV! Channel 3!
See me punch a man who threw some eggs at me!
Oh what a glorious thing to be
A highly-feted Labour Lord like me!
Basking in the glory of my former powers
And dozing in the House of Lords for hours and hours!
Itâs nice to be a Labour Lord like me,
Being just as Labour-like as I can be;
Being more important than I have ever been
And snoozing next to Mandleson! God Save The Queen!
Zzzz, Zzzz, Until itâs tea, let me be,
Vote if you like but donât wake me!
Zzzz, Zzz, Until itâs tea, let me be,
Vote if you like but donât wake me!

He is the very model of a modern Labour Grasp-it-allâ¦
Gloria, I think Iâve got your number
I think your words are
scarier
Than the pic youâre writing underâ¦
