With reliable heroes
And camp villains
But I watched on
recently
And I found it quite
exhausting
Foot chases, car
chases,
Running here, driving
there
It left me quite out
of breath
It didn’t leave room
for a story
The old Bond films had
a story
Punctuated with action
Now they had action
Punctuated by more
action
Bond was one of a kind
But now I’m not sure
If I’m watching James
Bond
Or Jason Bourne
Dear Mr Cadbury I would like to say in my view
That to find Someone,
Is something of a coup
Who enjoys a chocolate
finger as much as I do
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's off to work we go
Well, we don’t exactly
work at night
We just Pimp out Snow
White
Dredging is no silver bullet
Is the word coming
from their ranks
But at least it would
be something
To prevent rivers
bursting their banks
While the environment
agency
Just blindly keep on firing blanks
Slavery was born of Empire
But not a European one
Slavery existed for
centuries
In fact, thousands of
years
Way before Europe rose
to the fore
Even the Romans came
late to the party
Following in Greece’s
footsteps
Peoples were enslaved
From around the globe
Where there were trade
routes
There was slaving
Arabs traded slaves
bought
From African tribesmen
Muslims enslaved slavs
Turks enslaved
Ukrainians
Mongols reached into
the heart of Europe
And took slaves by the
thousand
White Europeans became
involved
Black enslaved black
White has enslaved
white
I don’t know if it
will ever end
I certainly hope so
But what I do know is
That the British
didn’t invent it
The sculptor creates
With skilful hands
The beauteous article
An artistic gift
Its concept borrowed
From his dreams
And his subconscious
mind
To infuse in his
design
And create a work of
art
In his town when Dad was a boy
They had a Chinese
Chippie
He was a Carpenter
from Shanghai
And he was Called Mr
Lee
