Reminded me of this, from an old friend and now old poet
Duncan Forbes.
My name is Moggie Thatcher, I'm a biter and a scratcher
I'm renowned for landing on my feline feet
I'm the grocer's puss from Grantham, who became the national anthem
And I like expensive cuts of public meat
Though painted as the brashest tyrannical old fascist
To rule the land without the common touch
I'm proud to think I'm British, and both resolute and skittish
You don't kick the iron lady in the crutch
My name is Moggie Thatcher, I'm a biter and a scratcher
And survival is the nature of the beast
Working late and with the light on, at the Grand Hotel in Brighton
I've got another seven lives at least
My culture is the gin-set, the Finchley pearls and twin-set
Britannia reincarnate rules the waves
Britannia reincarnate in the streets of Friern Barnet
The unemployed can be employed as slaves.
Great policy idea for a poet
