Lockdown!
by Rosemary Clarke
Lockdown the shops
Lock up our hearts
This is where the trouble starts.
This is a battle
We can win
As long as we do not give in.
Be sure, be safe
Be firm, be free
Treat all individually.
Care for each other
That's the rule
Whether they be in homes or schools.
Young or old
Or rich or poor
We must care, oh so much more!
Watch your neighbour
They need aid
This is how our debts are paid.
To our silent
Lovely Earth
Be green-minded, help give birth
To a new
Fantastic age
Then maybe we'll turn the page.
Care for all
No matter race
Other creatures, different face.
Care for all
Under the sun
But...don't forget to have some fun.
GUILTY
by Rosemary Clarke
Shame
on you, you bad M.Ps.
Yes, mummy taught you to say please
But did she also teach to care
About constituents out there.
While you're scoffing down your meals
How do you think this country feels?
Subsidised while we're on the skids
You won't even feed our kids!
It really isn't at all funny
Feeding you lot on tax money.
Perhaps we're just starting to see
The real-life of an M.P.
That's nothing if not luxury!
Shame if we go to vote at all
We can't vote for those who play football
They help out, make days more sunny
AND DO NOT DO IT ON OUR MONEY!
