Burning the Flag
Laurence is burning the Pride flag today;
Same as he always does, this time of year;
In his back garden, all smiley and gay;
As in cheery, or merry; to be clear:
I emphasise that in case he reads this,
And prosecutes me for taking the piss;
(Which would be very ironic indeed,
What with him being in desperate need
Of funds for his ruinous legal fees,
Having crowdfunded a fiver; no more;
His brief looks to leave him exceedingly poor,
Defending his numerous “Not guilty” pleas,
In view of past libellous misdemeanours
Ending with Laurence dragged to the cleaners.
What is it with so-called proud- patriots;
For all their lamenting, the trash they preach,
Or roar with like-minded compatriots,
Wanting things banned, in the name of “Free-speech”?
Do they really think we’re under attack
And can’t even fly the Union Jack,
Through fear of arrest: could it really be,
They take Stuart Lee’s joke seriously?
Believing what they hear on GB News
Read in The Mail, The Sun, The Express?
Do they wish to suppress expression, dress,
In line with their anti-transgender views?
British, proud, fearless, yet threatened by pride;
Are they denying their feminine side?
I found a picture on Google of Fox
In an itsy bitsy teenie weenie
Not yellow but blue, (with no polka dots
And presumably borrowed) bikini.
There’s a caption underneath explaining
His reasons; evidently complaining
About women being told what, or what
Not to wear, by MPs, or some such rot,
As meaningful as a dribble of snot,
Along with a trademark phobic comment,
Obviously written with biased intent,
He being racist (though he says he’s not);
And I couldn’t help thinking to myself:
Is Laurence unwittingly outing himself?
Which led me to further wonder: what would
Happen if Tommy Robinson posted
An account of his inner womanhood
On X? Would he be vilified, roasted,
For wearing a dress of Stone Island make?
Or would his legions, following suit, take
To wearing the same, and be led like sheep
To the cenotaph, by Little Bo Peep,
On Remembrance day, all the while waving
A flag of their choice and not getting nicked;
No one being shouted at, punched or kicked?
That would be something really worth saving:
Unlike the bigots of their high regard
Burning Pride flags, acting manly and hard.
