Humour Intended Poem by Joyce Hemsley

'The Ayes Have It'

Order, Order. Hush whilst we hear
The Honourable Gentleman from Tyne ad Wear.
He has an important observation to make
So please do be silent for everyone's sake:

Mr Deputy Speaker, I must ask the Prime Minster
Why has he no magic wand to administer?
A wave of the baton, we'd be well on our way.
State pensions could rise without further delay.
All men and women could receive MBEs
We could even give unemployed honorary degrees.
On the single currency, there would be no confusion,
No need for a referendum on monetary union.
Running our Health Service could become 'child's play'
We await his opinion ~~ for now I'll give way.

Order. Order. Please carry on Prime Minister:

I know in my position, I should have a wand
To use through 2009 and far far beyond.
Members could enjoy a grand spending spree.
The Conservatives should have used a wand in 1993.
A magic wand now could be real tough on crime
Adjust the interest rate - time after time;
Bridge the gap between the rich and the poor,
Mid-term blues flying out of the door.
Mr Deputy Speaker, before we came to power
The weather was kinder, just an occasional shower!
But under our Government the weather has changed
To high winds, black clouds and continual rain.
I have a feeling, we must act very soon.
If we could purchase a wand I'd be over the moon
Or can the House think up a better idea,
Such as Aladdin's Lamp?
If so please click here. I beg to move.

Order, Order.
In favour of a magic wand - say Aye
To the contrary - say No.
'The Ayes Have It! '
