A New Sunrise

Moira Stewart on the News

“The Government announced today
That it was going to abolish the alphabet”

In an unprecedented move they
Were unanimous about getting rid of it.

The Prime Minister in an unwritten statement
Replied to criticisms by stating “It’s got to go!”

After privatisation and economic disasters
The government felt that words were being wasted.

The Prime minister said “We will not tolerate
Anything that wastes time and money”

This government he said “is in serious debate
About getting rid of the evil British state”

News Three Months Later

The Prime Minister spent a comfortable night
Under the stars near Charing Cross Embankment.

He said, when pressed “why don’t you fuck off?”
To which there was a resounding Yes Prime Minister!
