Floodgate Part 1 - Poem

FLOODGATE

Part 1 of 3. The Farage Barrage!

(UKIP have expelled Councillor David  

Silvester of Henley-on-Thames for claiming

that recent flooding was caused by the

Government’s Marriage (Same Sex) Act!)

It’s clear that fire and brimstone’s out,

And flooding is now in;

To chastise our unchastity,

And all unnatural sin!

God’s wrath has smitten Cameron,

And his limp-wristed law;

And caused much inundation on,

The countryside and shore!

Thus in His Arc-like punishment,

God breached the water dykes;

So gays and wicked dykes were smote,

Throughout His flooding strikes!

Although it’s a queer justice, that,

Allows gays on high ground; 

Avoid the flooding whilst some straights,

On lower ground were drowned!

Silvester’s God moves in strange ways, (1)

His wonders to perform;

Such miracles thus tend to lie,

Outside the social norm.

This God-forsaken twisted love,

Is clearly Henley sent;

And seems a kind of justice, that

In retrospect seems bent.

If Cameron et al have sinned,

Would it not be more fair;

To punish them but leave alone,

The innocents out there?

But simple-minded thinking tends,

To stem from the more dense;

And most religious oddities,

Aren’t known for common sense!

(1) David Silvester claimed that Cameron

had acted “arrogantly against the Gospel”.
