Blare - II

The English poodle, tail between his legs,
Leaving behind his dirty legacy,
Bids farewell to the hand-picked sycophants
Stage-managed by a craven BBC.

The sop of rotten borough Sedgefield weeps
To favor brown-nose Brown as his successor,
And Bush says he will miss his "good friend," Blair,
His confidant, his Downing Street confessor,

Who's parting gesture is to prosecute --
Promoting Secrecy's close cousin, Shame --
Truth-tellers. Now all's said and done, he leaves,
Post-pity party, bearing History's blame.
