Lydon

   Lydon

Thespians and popstars, well past their prime,

MPs in want of a second career;

I can’t believe it’s been a year since “I’m

A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”.

The last time I watched was when Lydon said,

“You fucking cunts”, in front of Ant and Dec;

And ITV's bosses, upon seeing red,

Took steps, to further keep swearing in check;

Or so I believe; but enough of celeb;

I wanna talk about Lydon some more:

Now less a punk more Republican pleb;

Else what’s he wearing a MAGA hat for?

He, who once said of UKIP; and I quote:

“A black hole for the ignorant to fall

Into”, has changed his tune to Farage’s note;

As if he was never against him at all!

Likening Trump to a punk politician,

Supposedly anti-establishment;

He’s now aligned with Reform’s vision

Of ultra-conservative management!

Whatever happened to Johnny Rotten?

Was Anarchy in the UK a mere ruse?

Has he, in all honesty forgotten

How fascists manipulate working class views?

Or was he all the while playing the part?

Swearing and wearing flash clothes for TV,

When really he’s a contrarian tart;

A wannabe knight or an MBE.

Last year Farage himself was in the camp,

On I’m a Celeb, and from what I heard,

He was nearly ‘23’s populist champ;

Making the final and coming close third;

Now he’s Britain’s highest earning MP,

Gathering momentum and gaining ground;

In five years or less, he may very well be

Crossing the finish line, Downing Street bound,

And if John Lydon is performing still,

Will he be playing in front of the King?

The way things are headed he probably will:

His Public Image is very right-wing.
