Up the Tory mountain, Down the workers glen, They daren’t go a-husting For fear of Unionised men;

A rewrite of that lovely poem, 'The Fairies' by William Allingham, which was then and remains to this day a popular poem, for it is lovely indeed. That said, this re-write as a silly satire song ain't anything like the original, and I apologise to any expectations otherwise..

Someone, somewhere is very worried, stupidly so. We want balance not revenge. Equity is justice applied and made materially real. Then we're all safe, bruv, innit.

Up the Tory mountain,Down the workers glen,They daren’t go a-hustingFor fear of Unionised men;Wee folk, good folk,Trooping all together;Warm pickets, no top hats,Corbyn and Lynch unfettered!
Down along the rocky shoreSome make their home,They swim through the wakeOf sewer tide-foam.
Some in their mansionsAnd what their Tax Havens make,With their CP watchdogs,All night awake.
High on the hill-topThe old King sits;He is now so old and greyHe’s nigh lost his wits.With a bridge of Barnum Verbiage,England he crosses,On his stately journeysFrom Palace to the masses;Or going up with the musicOn cold starry nights,To sup with the Queen ConsortOf the cold Northern Lights.
They stole little BrexitFor fifty years long;When they made the exit,their friends were all gone.They took a vacuous tack,Between the night and morrow,They thought that we was fast asleep,- we was drained by the horror.They have klept it ever sinceDeep within the State,Media a bed of fig-leaves,Watching till we wake.
By the privatised hillside,Through the KCs* care,They've planted legalese For enclosure, here and there.
Is any man so daringAs dig them up in spite,He shall find their sharpest thorns,The Met, at the door, in bed at night. (Assange....)
Up the Tory mountain,Down the workers glen,They daren’t go a-hustingFor fear of unionised men;Wee folk, good folk,Men and women, all together;Green jacket, red cap,McAnea and Sidhu KC* unfettered!
