My Comments on the Coalition - In rhyme. Is it crap, fair, or okay please?

The Coalition was formed, and austerity they did enforce,

It didn't stop the MPs from going to Ascot racecourse,

The Nimrod was removed from the dwindling Royal Air Force,

The forces lost 2000 men, and have fewer commodores,

MPs expense fiddling continued as a matter of course,

They made new laws, yet reduced the Police-force,

The Labour Party being the only real counterforce,

They do little, just wait for David & Nick's divorce,

They protected investments, their very life-force,

They increased their MPs expenses, as matter of perforce,

Increased the unemployment, and reduced the workforce,

Pensions were reduced, their own they did reinforce,

Mr Miliband says little, but plays on his rocking-horse,

Why is he not challenging them, through verbal intercourse,

They destroy the lives of so many poor, without remorse,

Only the rich nepotists, their policies endorse,

Engineers and car workers, now pack air-line meals in pinafores,

They continue with their cuts, with no if's, but's or or's!

    It's spot on! Rob the poor and give to the rich. Robin Hoods in reverse !!

    The last line should be reworked. Not fond of ending with "or or's"

    As commentary, very astute. As poetry, not so good. You'll fit in fine here...
