If you elect Clegg
You will get Brown
Told us Cameron
Lib-Lab said some
Con-Lib is
what we got
Have we been conned?
Depends which camp
You belong
Tactical vote
Anticipated
Got Con-Lib instead
Next time
Will be
Next time
We need
Not tactical
But strategic vote
Careful what
You wish
What you wished
Is what you got
But was it what
You want?
Think deep
Before you make
A wish
You might not
Like it
But what you wish
Is what you get
Change
Was Obama's mantra
Con, Lib & Lab
Borrowed this
Mantra
Change for who?
What kind?
Is Con-Lib
The kind of change
We wanted?
Change
Of politics
New politics
Promised but
Public thinks
The opposite
Was attained
In the national interest
We are told
Tolerate & support
Con-Lib government
Supporters say
'coz of economic
Malaise
Betrayal
Said some
Yet others
Personal interest
While the rest say
The Libs are hungry
For power
That is why
We see them over there
Ditched their policy
The Con-Lib
Who want power & control
Say
We need government
Which is stable
Once in power
Advocates of
New politics
Are contempating
To nominate
A hundred Peers
To help them
Manipulate votes
Is this old
Or new politics?
Time will tell
Whether we
Have been conned
Or not
Time will tell
Whether we have
New or old politics
Change or stable
Government
'coz of national
Interest
Critics say
Is why we got
Con-Lib government
All these high
Sounding terms
Will materialise
Or like rainbow
Beautiful
Sun rise or sun set
Pleases our eyes but
Quickly disappears
Ephemeral
Time
Will come and go
But we will be
Here
Won't let go
Hope the cuts
Will come to an end
Without investment
We will end up
Going to square one
With no
Development
If it is only
Reducing the deficit
The Government
Is doing
Cynics or skeptics
say
Reduction
Without expansion
Is only
Balancing the books
What we need
Is not a Con-Lib
Government
But
Expert bookeepers
Creative accountants
Expertly
Can balance the books
We are told
We are in it together
How come bankers
And the homeless
Belong together?
How about
The unemployed
And
The dispossed
Are they together
With the banker?
Start campaigns
Reduce our support
Or through election
Change the
The Con-Lib coalition
Bring relief
To everyone disillusioned
And
The disenchanted
Who
Voted for the coalition
But
Are now disappointed
Reform of the NHS
Went on enforced recess
Forced
Among other things
Listen to the public
Over private or public
Health care
Health secretary
Enfuriated his supporters
And some GPS
Wants to widely consult
Public says why wait
All these months
To consult the public
On something basic
