Xmas Doldrums

Xmas Doldrums

Are we ever to be rid of
the parasite called royal.
They’re attached to the
wealth of our country
like skin to a boil.
Unwanted by most of
the needy crowd, the voice
of the poor crushed if
it appears to loud.

Their incessant greed
is unmatched, it is a
heartless but not
a modern crime.
No austerity gripping
their greatness for
their plans had already
hatched. It was their
most sadistic of all
reign time.

So listen to your sleigh
bells if you will, their
friends will not be
manning the fortress
wall. To busy with
their hands in our
Xmas till, persuading
the politicians theirs
is the best party of all.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
Just a little christmas cheer....

I know I have Blue Blood in there somewhere, but when I hurt myself my blood is always red, just can't understand, as I know there is Blue blood in there some place.
I don't think you can blame the Royals, try those corrupt politicians we have in endless supply, denigrating the Police who are usually on their side cheating on their expenses, the present one to the tune of £90,000-0 allowing sex criminals loose in a child's Hospital and so many things, with a CPS that acts as if they are God what happened to the courts deciding things.
Greed and corruption is rife here but don't blame the Queen she's just an old age pensioner that has to make ends meet La La,
Yours Sparrow..
PS:- have a quiet Seasonal Holiday if it is permitted to use the word Holiday, lol

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

Thank you Ian, in my thoughts royalty are the catalyst, we get rid of them and the rest will follow. Regards Roscoe..

I don't think we need to get rid of our symbolic head of country, they are cost effective though maybe out of date.
Why do we need all those Lords swanning around as if the peasants didn't matter in their over rich places..
MP's can be shot at random as the continually make a bloody mess of running a country, when their pockets are full they are OK what a load of crap heads.. Show me a good one and I will want to know what the distortion (Extortion)factor was..
Can you imagine we send India 800 million in aid each year or there about's yet they can buy our factories and run them off of slave labour out there. Ex Communists that are billionaires and buy our football teams.. We are in one hell of a corrupt world and me at 70 need not worry about my future well being thank goodness..
Horse meat in Beef burgers today from Tesco's and other food out lets.. We should be made to Eat Cake, Yours Ian.T

the only line I like don't like in is
'like skin to a boil.'
it's more like a mental cancer that destroys the minds of the people. I think you could come up with something stronger.

cheers,

A picture came to my mind of a coronetted tax collector ringing a door bell in South East London, there a woman reading from Longfellow, starkers, answering the door and telling the Royal tax collector where to go.
This would make a great film, Thriller with Royalties from the Crown, By Royal Appointment. "The Taxperson and the French"

Her Maj does pay a lot of Tax, and earns quite a lot for the country, it's all the hanger ons that cost money, but they must have piles, as they had an anus horribilis not so long ago..
Have a lovely evening, Yours Sparrow.
PS:- Don't think Roscoe loves them. La La

I think Queenie is terribly composed but note all the rest of the royals are genetically greek as they have prince phillips blood!

I refer you to my comments below sir, lol. Thanks again Ian for taking time.

Sorry, but no mixed feeling for i, cut her or any other one of those parasites and i'm sure their blood would be red not blue. It's a bad enough world with all the multinationals and their multi billionair owners, but when we have these hereditary peers and the like proping up the royals and all with their arses up to us, and their faces in the trough. Then you have the poorest in society being told they must cut back, well it doesnt take much working out. Thanks for your comments Regards Roscoe..
