YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP

YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP


The heroes of the Dunkirk rescue
Who piloted the little boats from London’s wharves,
Put their lives at risk for their countrymen.
Unarmed, under fire and now
Unheralded,
For fear of upsetting foreign visitors.
You couldn't make it up.
Centuries of tradition in our countryside,
From chasing a roll of cheese down a hill
To Morris dancers outside a village pub
Are now removed from the calendar.
The faceless lily livered city Councillors
Even changed the Christmas holiday to a ‘Winterval’
You couldn't make it up.
A tax placed on empty rooms in your house,
Oil prices fall, yet our petrol goes up
And the highest road tax in the world.
Yet our roads, oh Lord have mercy our roads
They are potholed and broken like a war zone.
You couldn't make it up.
Yet
We have people allowed to burn poppies
The symbol of our fallen in conflict,
And spit hatred at our glorious dead.
Immigrants can celebrate their festivals with total freedom,
And we give thousands of pounds in housing and handouts
To a known terrorist and his family,
Whilst a woman commits suicide in my country
For not being able to pay her bills.
Welcome to England
No really
You are welcome to it.
You just couldn't make it up.

Phil Hall  May 2013
