Peanut Butter Sandwich In Parliament

he strolled down the lane
taking peanut butter sandwiches  
to the prime minister, while  
whistling a jaunty tune, about  
fool's gold and a baboon.
 
he knocked at the door  
from the chamber there was an uproar  
switching off the telly, labor  
wanted jelly, to fill their fat bellies  
 
and as for the torries, they  
want to regal him about war  
and past glories, while they  
jumped into foxholes, smearing  
themselves in marmite.
 
a comedy of errors, a cast of characters  
that were caricatures of themselves  
the peanut butter got dripping, very sticky  
so Billy decided to eat the lot, in front  
of the salivating M.P.s

Author's Note
You know I was taking the piss out of the system when I was writing...Billy Connelly is one of the most prolific comedians of his generation so I wanted to pen something to honor one of his great jokes Peanut Butter Sandwich In Parliament is both humorous and thought provoking so I hope you enjoy my slice of the humor pie and my own personal take on politics and consumerism, capitalism and just having fun with the context because it's all meant to be silly in the end
