I'm delighted, said Liz, to have won in the vote Even though I am up against Rishi, the scrote I'm not looking behind me I'm looking ahead You can trust me. I'm Liz Truss, Elizabeth said I'm excited, said Liz, and I'm ready to hit The ground running. I'm up against Rishi, the shit But I'm really alive even though I look dead You can trust me. I'm Liz Truss, Elizabeth said I'm invited, said Liz, by my mates the MPs To go up against Rishi. I know about cheese And I know about pork so I'll keep us all fed You can trust me. I'm Liz Truss, Elizabeth said I'm far sighted, said Liz, though I struggle to see And I'm up against Rishi, who's richer than me There is nothing unsavoury under my bed You can trust me. I'm Liz Truss, Elizabeth said There's wrongs to be righted, said Liz, I'm the one To right all the wrongs what the government done Though there's nothing at all going on in my head You can trust me. I'm Liz Truss, Elizabeth said © Gail Foster 20th July 2022
couplets
Rain Dance
*
Waiting for thunder, waiting for rain
Waiting for lightning to strike on the plain
When will it come, when will it come?
The heat of the sun on the skin of a drum
Watching horizons, watching the hills
Watching the widening cracks in the rills
When will it come, when will it come?
One drop of rain on the skin of a drum
Dreaming of rivers, dreaming of seas
Dreaming of streams and delirious trees
When will it come, when will it come?
Two drops of rain on the skin of a drum
Thinking of doomsday, thinking of drought
Thinking of reservoirs all drying out
When will it come, when will it come?
Three drops of rain on the skin of a drum
Dying for water, dying of thirst
Dying of waiting for heaven to burst
When will it come, when will it come?
Four drops of rain on the skin of a drum
Crying for mercy, crying for men
Cry for the rain to come falling again!
Hearing it come, hearing it come
The beat of the rain on the skin of a drum
Waiting for thunder, waiting for rain
Waiting for lightning to strike on the plain
