The Coalition Cycle

By Tony Chestnut Brown 9/10/12
Coalition bike by Alex Corina

The latest in purpose built design.
A sign of its time.
Rather than going around in circles.
Return to Thatcher "the lady is not for turning"
Maybe we'll be 'con- dem'ned to 10 years of,
suffering, 'Austerity Britain'.
For we have the 'push me pull me' bike.
With immediate results to share,
the recent phenomena,
of 'going nowhere fast'.
Just like the economy!
It's a must have item.
For any Coalition member.
In this ergonomic era,
one step nearer,
to oblivion.
With many a policy to veto,
never quick, always slow.
For what in direction one lacks.
Just create another unjust law or implement another tax.
As they dismantle the 'welfare state'.
As they bicker, in dread we wait.
The catastrophe that is 'The Coalition cycle'.
