ENGLAND - An Acrostic
Election won by
Naked manipulation by the rightwing media,
Greedy Tories under the scumbag toad
Lying Boris Johnson;
And after Brexit
Now England's going down the
Drain. Well done, moronic electorate
Style / type:
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
I have been polite here. Saying what I really think might shock the ears of some folks.

The truth of the matter is
The truth of the matter is that they gave the great unwashed a wank!

One should always...
...wash thoroughly both before and after one of those.

Attitude is...
everything! It is not what one says, so much as how it is said and in what context. Vulgarity, for the sake of shock is crude.
This has the bite of political irony. ~ Geezer.
