Ah, lovely May sunshine and ‘Vote Labour!’
In this part of Salford they usually win
But still their van drives round the area
Persuading us to keep their own man in.
No doubt even here that they’re worrying
About the credit crunch and house prices
Even though years of relentless rising
Has made overdue corrective phases.
If only they’d go back to policies
That looked after the long-forgotten poor!
Instead the poor must help themselves, fiddling
With no assistance from accountancies,
From offshore banks, from fellows on the floor
Of the chamber. My vote? Forgot again…
