So Carol Anne Duffy has weighed in, and I'm sure we all agree this makes things much clearer:

Here's a boat that cannot float.

Here's a queue that cannot vote.

Here's a line you cannot quote.

Here's a deal you cannot note ...

and here's a sacrificial goat,

here's a cut, here's a throat,

here's a drawbridge, here's a moat ...

What's your hurry? Here's your coat.

I'm pretty sure we can do better.

damn, too late, obviously

twas in the year of 20-10
when came the time to vote again
the people turned out 'cross the nation
and headed for their polling station
if lucky and they were on time
they got to mark their cross, all fine,
but if they dared to leave to late
they never got to play with fate
for doors were locked
and voters sent packing
the admin was crap, and staffing was lacking,
the votes were counted and some seats changed
but no clear cut winner this time,its strange
some new faces replaced some dead wood,
Dave-boy did well, Cleggy not good
Gordon felt sick, the voters felt sicker
remembering next time to get there quicker

So Dave has (kind of) won the election
I reckon it's due to his silky complexion
Coz whenever Gordon did that weird gurn
It made the nation's stomach churn
And when he insulted Gillian Duffy
Some people got somewhat huffy
So now Nick Clegg (for whom not many voted)
Has got the choice about who gets promoted
And even though Gordon's a miserable git
I'd rather Labour than Tory coz the eighties were shit.

The public voted
Three ways. The result floated
for days. Who will win?

and, less prosaically.

if is brown, flush it down,
if its yellow, let it mellow...
With blue, maybe it'll do.

There once was an MP called Cameron
Whose projected majority once took a hammerin'
He said "oh, please Nick... See more
Jump in bed with me quick"
And soon all the yellows were clamourin'.

cleggy has the power
Gordons had his hour
Camerons still a twat

cleggy makes a choice
Gordons lost his voice
cameron is a twat

Cleggy eats paella
Gordons gone all yella
Cameron is a twat

Cleggy attended Westminster
Gordons face is sinister
Cameron is a twat

Cleggy likes rich tea
Gordy likes a choccy biccy
Cameron is a twat

Brown reduced
Cameron Boost
Clegg seduced.

There once was a loser called Brown,
Whose face was etched in a frown.
Under him, our debt soared;
And troops were ignored.
Thank God Gordon Brown has gone down.
