The Repair Shop

Welcome to the Repair Shop

And what have you brought us today?

Ah yes, I’ve got this old economy thing

It’s broken so what can I say.

Oh dear I see it’s had better days

Has it been in your family long?

I got it by general election

But it seems it’s all gone wrong.

Well I see it has virus damage

And its debt has grown quite large

Ah yes I know; not my fault

Do you think I’m really in charge?

But I want this Kingdom United

Much better when we are unhitched

I’m flying by the seat of my trousers…

Yes, I can see they’re coming unstitched

I’m hoping you repair shop chappies

Can do something to pull us together

But you’re asking too much dear Boris

We work more with clockwork and leather.
