Poem: ‘Those Twisting Tongues’

    The loose-lipped Labourite likes ladling out the lies.

    The calculating Conservative clearly croons over clichéd cries.

    The lamenting lacking Liberal leans loosely left and right.

    The Kremlin-coated Communist careers confusedly out of sight.

    But the scientific Socialist sees it all as a serious sleuth

    Takes the twisted tasteless tattle and traces out the truth.
