The PM’s 17th of June Address
Today, I address you, my nation.
I sense there is fury, frustration,
So let me remind you, I’m swell;
I’ve served you incredibly well.
-
I’ve battled the EU with vigor
By writing a letter with rigor.
I’m busy dividing the pie
Between my old friends, by and by.
-
Your wages have never been higher.
You buy all the things you desire.
That’s why I don’t get why you strike,
Demanding a salary hike.
-
On Facebook, you’re terribly crappy.
In polls, you declare that you’re happy.
You’re clearly completely insane;
There’s something not right in your brain.
-
Although you’re all troubled and crazy,
Ungrateful, bad-tempered and lazy,
Remember, you gave me the crown.
No chance that I’ll ever step down.
