Sonnet 65: On the birth of a bludger
Sonnet 65: On the birth of a bludger
By Don Franks (after David Wood)
A business
opportunity has come to pass
The birth of a baby royal to
their Kate;
382 million profit for the ruling
class
for the rest of us, just our usual
fate
“William and Kate are the happy pair,
The whole
nation is joyful and happy”
slavers the servile media
mob
they know so well how to do crappy
One day he will
come to rule the nation
That is steeped in bloody
conquest
No one could boast a greater history
of
imperialist ruthlessness
If you like, celebrate this
event
you, not him, will be paying for his food and his
wine and
rent.
