‘Ignore / the sacrifice / we made…’
I don’t usually give context for my poetry, but this one needs some.
I wrote this specifically about Partygate, which you can read about here if you need more info:
Also ‘Eton Mess’ probably makes zero sense to those of you who aren’t British, but at least I amused myself!
Ignore
the sacrifice
we made
To you the bills
all come pre-paid
But there’s a piper
here who played
while you all made
Eton mess
Still you’re out in the garden
Not part of our bargain,
Let them eat cake
and drink wine
