A Nursery Rhyme for Our Time
atWith Thanks to the House that Jack Built
This is The House Dave inherited
This the referendum that Dave prepared
Because of the bogey he utterly feared
That lay in The House Dave inherited
This is Boris the Russian Doll that lies on his side
(Because he can’t do upright)
He won the referendum that Dave prepared
Because of the bogey that was utterly feared
That destroyed the House Dave inherited
In the wreckage of The House
(Inherited by Dave the unbrave)
We can see Boris the Dolly lying on his side
Amidst curtains and carpets and bottle of fizz
Where he lies and lies and lies and lies
Underneath layer after layer
Doing his thing in that Russian Dolly way
Which is how we came to lose
The House that Dave inherited
