IT MAKES YER WANNA SPEW!

(S.P.E.W.--The Socialist Party of England & Wales
--previously known as The Militant Tendency.)

Now S.P.E.W. once known as ‘Militant’,
(And a.k.a. ‘The Trots’)
Appear in their revolting way,
To have forgot the Scots!
Those who’ve experienced ‘The Trots’,
Will understand they send;
Just everyone and everything,
Completely round the bend!
And their ‘Malignant Tendency’,
That’s rotten to the core;
Says Russia only went downhill,
From Nineteen-Twenty-Four.

Before then with the Bolsheviks,
The Workers had a ball;
Then Stalin ruled from ‘24,
And ruined it for all!
‘The Trots’ say Russia then became,
A ‘Deformed Workers State’;
But it’s not clear if this describes,
The State or Workers fate!
The Bolshevik Dictatorship,
Was from the very first;
An unelected coup by those,
Who had a power thirst.

The Cheka Secret Police begun, (1)
In Nineteen-Seventeen;
By Lenin, Trotsky and their thugs,
Was not meant to be mean.
The Cheka boss, Dzerzhinsky in, (2)
His chequered short career;
Had liquidated thousands but,
He’d often shed a tear!
The ‘Trots’ rewrite of history,
Is vomitous, in lieu,
Of any solid facts and thus,
Inclined to make one SPEW!

(1) Pronounced as in ‘Chequer’. 
(2) Felix Dzerzhinsky (1877-1926):
“We stand for organised terror”.
