LONDON LABOUR PARTY



A Scotch joke theory tested to compute
By putting an Ape in shirt and grey suit
Sporting a red tie, it’s cover complete
Though shirt’s too tight to hide his neck’s hirsute
With fake Scotch grunts and shrieks, though none dispute
How ugly he looks with charm in pursuit.
Then Scotchland shipped to contest a local seat
Hoping their Scotch Lottery balls we’ll beat
As if clutching straws, the short straw for him ?
NO!  Voted in by local Tories grim
Now, he’s the only Ape in London Zoo
Sitting in the corner, nothing to do
But shriek “SNP BAD, SNP BAD”
Then Pavlovian fed, his sweat so bad
Do not feed Animals any bread crumb
Our last Scotch MP  “SCOTORUM SCROTUM”.

About this poem

The last Soottish Labour Party MP even though they are illegally registered in London so officially cannot be called Soottish Labour Party as they are not indepedent but subservient to the London Labour Party, so hopefully the Scottish public tell them where to go for ever more.
