The Blinkered Dormouse

A small myopic hamster, she has that rodent look
like Mrs. Tiggywinkle in some ancient children’s book.
DWP, she bares her teeth – a ferret gone berserk.
Select Committee have their doubts. Does this stuff really work?
She’s told to do a full review to check that there’s no doubt.
She does, but three years later the findings still aren’t out.

Fast forward, she’s in charge of Health. A crisis, plain to see.
A study charts the impact of inequality.
Huge load of pressures, crises, so where should she begin?
The stuff on inequality goes straight into the bin.
Thérèse can not be doing with these tedious reports
whose findings often contradict her own subjective thoughts.

She’s swigged the Johnson cool-aid, she’s buddies with Liz Truss.
There’s nothing else that matters, the answer’s always – us.
