have you noticed
and this is true
how all politicians
say aye
where we say uh?
probably not
so here’s how they do
they say:
we have aye democracy
aye monarchy
aye church of England
aye free market
aye meritocracy
we say:
we have uh paltry parliament
uh royal carve-up
uh load of barmy bishops
uh spiv’s economy
uh class system
and how you speak matters
doncherknow:
in The Commons
at Buck House
at Westminster Abbey
in the City
at Eton too
and everywhere
the ayes have it
