REALLY
by John Yeo

Vote for me and I’ll be there for you
Dependable, honest, reliable, true,
Voracious, totally telling the facts
Without pretension.

Honestly, never dishonest.
My three year old believes in me,
Fairies, goblins, witches and elves,
Even Father Christmas.

Dependable, honest, reliable, true,
Without pretension.
Our NHS, education, transport, too,
Without invention.


My drug of choice is a happy pill,
Take one three times a day.
You will feel better, I know you will
If you cast a vote for me.


Honesty is a purple flowering plant,
The pods make for decoration.
The ideal political reflection,
Colourful, decorative, honest, and true?
