I do redtop recon in local caff
over nitrosamine sandwich
(the last diner donated a copy
of the uncharitable Sun).
'Loyal subjects' poppysmic over pageantry
(prozzies prizing a pimp's plumage).
'Loyal subjects' highborn hypocorism
for 'Scum, But Our Scum'.
Saxe-Coburg-Stoata won't
pop its Windsor weasals,
'til God's outed as Alan Smithee,
the credits roll for Kingdom Come.
For leper equerries,
lickspittle English mudsills,
workingclass virtue resides
in the vice of received wisdom.
Stout yeoman status masochists,
prole monarchists who find wonder
not in wonders.
Inferiority complebs so wowed
by plummyvoiced plunderers
that dulce et decorum becomes
a deathwish when war flips the switch
on their peacetime plebwish.
Feudal themepark fortified
by perk sword, ignominious
honours. Sleb serfs genuflect,
hobbled by thralldom
- shall we ever gain any Equilibritain,
where fendersmiths mutinous
cinderise Windsors? UK PLC's
slave morality: duty will be dumb.
But not by me, a precariat poet
zerohoured by public demand.
Fronthall gridlock of Connolly's
pram pales as act of artistic harakiri
next to Laureateship's lipserfdom,
perduellion 'gainst truth:
My First Lady is Sovereign Muse, Jackie
Parnassus. Vive toutes les républiques!
