061 - Current Affairs

It’s a step too far

To play football in Qatar

The heat is so insane

It might even melt your brain

It’s most unfair

Giving a Knighthood to Tony Blair

You cannot just ignore

He started an unjust war

It’s all such a mess

The state of the NHS

It’s become a major burden

When you try to see a surgeon

It’s a bloody big pain

The war that’s in Ukraine

Will the Russians make amends

Once the whole thing ends?

The world is going mad

It’s really ever so sad

I’d fix it if I were able

But I’m currently hiding under this table
