Chirpy Dirges

Newsnight Valentine

If you, my love, were the IRA,
then I would be whatever Sinn Fein say.
& if you were an editorial in the Sun,
then I'm Darth Sidious Dirty Digger's opinion. 
& if you were a Shi'a tafsir upon the Quran,
then I would be the government line in Tehran.
& if  you  were the government of Her Majesty,
then I'm BBC, ahem, 'impartiality'.
