The mild voter

I've been a mild voter for many a year
I spent all me subsidies on whisky and beer
And now the votes are returning with no's in great store
And never I will play the mild voter no more

And it's no, nay, never, no more
will I play the mild voter,
no nay, never, no more.

I went to a comission I used to frequent
and I told the president me money was spent
I asked for her subsidies she answered
aye, such a custom as yours, I'll have any day.

chorus

I'll have none of your Polish
nor fine Romanies. For your policies show you clearly
as federalist swine. There's others most willing to open a door
To men coming to work from a distant shore.

Chorus

I'll go home to me Priest, confess what I've done, and I'll tell 'em it was to keep out abortion
And when he's caressed as when I was 4.
I will play the mild voter no more.

I submitted a song to the Treason Show a couple of years ago about Avian Flu(also using 'The Wild Rover' as the base). I got a reply saying something like: never use a repeated chorus, always make it slightly different.

Also think some of the 'scanning' needs attention.

Hmm may work on it.

Thanks

Nice effort, I have found these very tricky to write, so hats off and all that. I get the impression however, that the first verse cam rather easily and after that you may have struggled

Songs are a real challenge for me, but thats no excuse for not trying.

And bad as the scan maybe, it covers everything from wasted subsidies to paedophilia so can't be all bad.

Topical songs are not particularly my bag, but if liked that sort of thing I think I would probably like this. If you see what I mean.

I think I just find the Irish inherently funny. In a pointing at and laughing sort of way.
