Goody: The Baddy and the Ugly

22-01-2007

What curious times we live in.People around the globe are coping with unseasonal weather, while Britain isstill counting the cost of last week's freak storms. No one's sure if it's proof of climate change, butas The Stirrer's resident poet Brendan Hawthorne observesthing havedefinitely been hotting up in theBig Brother house.

Goody: The Baddy and the Ugly

Ice crystalises lemons

in the sunshine state

as the climate changes

in the theatre of hate

Storms lash out

with violence and force

blowing peace and harmony

way off due course

Britain's z-list celebrity boom

is gathering pace

as Jade-the-Mouth motors

with very little grace

The planet and its politicians

are begining to notice

a bigot's infamous abuse

that should now cease

uttered with contempt

by a sad lipo ballerina

thinking she can big it

on a main-stage arena

Her words put firmly

in the mouth of a liberal nation

for the world to hear about

its social degeneration

Talk about injustice

when we've come so far

listening to the ‘Goody'

instead of who we really are

So brother how you doing

in the ranting and ratings wars?

Couldn't you put your effort

towards a much better cause?

Because when at last

this low finally blows itself out

you'll cost the damage caused

when we cast the final vote
