It's the post-pandemic suppository
or as they like to call it
the Boris Johnson oratory
feels as if
we're the cultures in a laboratory
( note how often tory is tacked onto words )

Keep healthy and happy, they say,
take two pills with water twice every day
but we know
they're trying to **** us with a kindness
because that is their way

and if we go by bus
because we can't afford
to go loco
we're still crazy and heading
to the nuthouse.
