(Apologies to Noel Coward)
Author’s Note: British Conservative Party Chairman, Grant Shapps, admits to ‘screwing up’ after being forced to concede that he was ‘moonlighting’ by still running his software business under the alias of ‘Michael Green’ when he became an MP.
Who’d want to purchase a used car,
From ‘Honest Grant V. Shapps’;
In view of all his posturing,
And his poor memory lapse?!
Who’d want to buy some software from,
The so-called Michael Green; ((Shapps used the alias, Michael Green, when selling his software, ‘Stinking Rich’.))
When he was really Grant V. Shapps,
Behind a smoky screen?
His product known as ‘Stinking Rich’,
Would make “a ton of cash”;
For those of the same vapid mind,
And equally as flash.
“A chancer” says the Guardian,
And so he’ll likely sue; ((The Guardian newspaper revealed that he threatened to sue a constituent who tweeted an exposure of his double life.))
Because flash gits will always try,
To cover-up what’s true.
But some will still go nuts in May, ((British General Election in 2015.))
And vote for his smooth charm;
But others will use common sense,
And see right through his smarm?
Shapps somehow seems to typify,
Most politics today;
Self-serving and quite vacuous,
In each and every way.
