last comment on last rites

One more haiku, the last I intend to produce re the vile Thatcher and those creepy yet grandiose shenanigans in St Paul's last week. (Further reactions, however humorous or creative, may not be altogether good for an old geezer's blood pressure.)

OSBORNE AT HER OBSEQUIES

A clown's tears, facile:
they're all in this together,
Tory crocodiles!

thatcheration indeed


EPITAPHS FOR THE BLESSED MARGARET


GRAFFITO FOR A GRAVE

Writ large on a wall
somewhere in Brixton: IRON
LADY? RUST IN PEACE



SHOPPING FOR THE NATION

Her greed-grocer mind
spelled Upward Mobility
whatever the price



EARLY LEARNER IN THE CLASS STRUGGLE

Young ‘Snobby Roberts’
reinvented herself, moved
on, waging worse wars



So much for her who, among her other infamous achievements, considered Mandela a terrorist and Pinochet her pal!
