Joanna Yeates a lovely girl
Murdered Christmastime
Body in the snow
A lovely face a lovely lass
We watch her image as she passed
And came back home
To meet her sudden doom
Her next-door neighbour
Murderer
Drinks in pornography
Then attacks this helpless lass
His lust to satisfy
Her landlord Chris
Arrested
Grilled for three days through
While media frenzy feeds upon
He’s not like me or you
Policemen probed and pressurised
Follow a flimsy lead
A flimsy circumstantial
Who has done this deed?
Meanwhile the press have skewered him
Perverted paedophile ponce
Whatever sells their papers
They don’t care one ounce
The story shows the sorry state
Of the UK at this time
So many lovely people
So much vicious crime
A Media above themselves
Nothing matters now
And a lovely girl discarded
A body in the snow
