THE RIGHT THING TO DO

Nu Labour has a new phrase to persuade us of their views,
Whenever they are challenged they shout "it's the right thing to do".
Now just as speaking loudly won't make a foreigner understand,
Saying it's the right thing to do won't prove you're in command.

It's the right thing to do, the right thing to do,
When in "the poo" shout it's the right thing to do.

School days debating tells us that reasoned argument
Is a minimum requirement for those of political bent.
The topic may be difficult and the way be far from clear
But ending every sentence the same will not quell our fear.

It's the right thing to do, the right thing to do,
When in "the poo" shout it's the right thing to do.

So when you hear John Humphreys bait the minister of the day,
On a topic that's quite tricky, remember what he'll say,
After restating for the umpteenth time his tired old position,
He'll try and wriggle out of the Spanish inquisition.

It's the right thing to do, the right thing to do,
When in "the poo" shout it's the right thing to do.

Good poem! (well, okay, apart from the spelling of "Humphreys"...) I like it!

By the way, it's good to see you posting a bit more regularly again. I have therefore today added you to my own blogroll.

Thanks John.

Sorry about the spelling (now corrected), I will try and keep up the posts but life and business have a habit of getting in the way.
