Christmas viewing
Margaret of Argyll
Well Claire Foy actually
Playing her in style
She used to be the Queen you know
One played her very well
Those doe eyes blue
The ruby lips
Now she’s Jezebel
And cricket played down under
Collapse I hear the word
Describing England’s fortunes
Predictable absurd
The Aussies rule it over us
We’ve nothing left to cheer
Lost our empire on the run
At least there’s English beer
And human rights in Russia
Take another hit
Closing down Memorial
Putin’s hissy fit
And in the Church a solemn day
The feast of innocents
Murdered by King Herod
Power on the offence
I saw a priest begin the mass
He didn’t mention sin
Instead he said ‘behaviour’
I thought that good of him
Examine your behaviour
Confess the wrong you do
And let Claire Foy get on with it
Always worth a view
