Big Lefty Poem by Francis Duggan

Big lefty who drinks at the local pub he dislikes Howard, Blair and Bush
And if one mention any of their names to him the blood to his head rush
He says these blokes are not worth arguing over and of them I do not wish to hear
I came in here to socialize and for to enjoy a few bottles of beer.

Big lefty who drinks at the local pub stands over six foot four
A powerfully built man of muscle of one hundred kilos or more
But he's a nice sort of a fellow he doesn't throw his weight around
And people like him one might say are not that easy to be found

But mention Bush or Howard or Blair to him and it really gets him going
And the anger in his brown eyes one can see slowly growing
He says what have they done for the World except create more refugees
And destroy Countries and kill people do change the subject please.

Big lefty who drinks at the local pub was twenty nine last May
The type of bloke to help you who would go out of his way,
A family man he loves his wife and their year old baby boy
He says I hope we're not raising young Luke in a war for to die.

Big Lefty who drinks at the local pub is a good sort of a bloke
But names such as Howard and Bush and Blair an angry response from him provoke
He says how they get elected into high office I will never understand
They kill and maim people and destroy homes and pollute sea and land.
