I'd rather be Woke than a Wanker

 I’d rather be Woke than a Wanker

In remembrance of Thatcher

Conservatives each year

Praise the old milk-snatcher

They very much revere

Mail readers highly rank her

Do they think I should too?

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

I’m never voting blue

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

Don’t build a statue please

She demonised

And privatised

Our public industries

I really don’t want to thank her

Feel free to bend your knees

But the North’s still poor

In spite of your

Rose-tinted memories

A lettuce-faced prime minister

Upon resigning spoke

Demonised the sinister

And left-wing cult of woke

The policies that sank her

Are totally insane

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

With a Truss-infected brain

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

The billionaires won’t share

They’ll raid the pots

Buy bigger yachts

And leave the country bare

If you’re not an investment banker

Or a hedge fund billionaire

And still want cuts

You’re either nuts

Or simply not aware

Ex populist party leaders

Employed by GB News

Are currently newsreaders

With very partial views

Could they be any blanker?

I wouldn’t risk a bet

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

With a tightly closed mind-set

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

Especially since Fox said

We’re cultists

And anti-Brits

Mainstream media led

Ridiculous-far-right-rancour

Has like a virus spread

The fear of woke

Makes people choke

Turns faces gammon-red

I’d rather be woke than a wanker

Whatever woke may be

Stonewall

Don’t bother me at all

And nor does CRT

A GB or Fox News Anchor

Might beg to disagree

But I don't care

Please be aware

You’re not my cup of tea
