Today

 Today

Just when you think things can't get more mad
and you turn on SKY News but there's more madness to be had.
Would we leave or stay - seems a lifetime away
and the sherry in the cabinet sees a new Cabinet to stay
but for how long? We can not know or even guess.
And then there is the battle for the soul of Labour no less
and a fight for the State of the Union just across the shrinking pond.
There is pain and sorrow and hurt and divide for tout le monde.
Olympians banned and questionable world records.
Old buddies challenged on a list of the lords.
We watch the Euro on it's merry go round while the pound's on the slide
and I'm starting to wonder if there's a place I can hide.
The pundits adore it - the doom and the gloom,
and we wonder what gives up in the Boardroom.
Who gets the bonus and who gets the boot?
Stats and graphs for knife crime and graphic pictures of - well, shoot -
those cut down and injured and harmed for no reason.
The news in a loop and the world in a silly season.
Every day I switch on the box and every day surpasses the previous
as it trails out the good, the bad, the ugly and devious.
Today - let's be merry, of good cheer and party
for tomorrow no one knows who will lead any Party.
