May 2010
Thoughts on the UK general election 2010
Labour are red
Tories are blue
Both need the Liberals
Their votes were too few
We want, we all said
A hung parliament coup
Carelessly wished for
Now all coming true
There's economic dread
So what shall we do
We can't decide which we like
Yellow, red or blue
Campaigning not bed
A decision to rue
More sleep is postponed
So Clegg they can woo
The rivals must wed
A coalition stew
Strong stable unity
Or chimps in a zoo?
Some policies now dead
Others they'll pursue
The only thing certain
Is that cuts are in view
So raise up your head
And herald the new
And if someone's in charge
Please tell me who.
Written the night after the 6 May 2010 general election in the UK before it was clear which parties would unite to form a government.
