POLITICAL AFFAIRS

Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, remembered for his attacks on Tory sleaze in the 1990s, has been having a two year affair with a political secretary.

The heady aphrodisiac of power
can even make John Prescott look quite sweet
investing him with eyes no puppy dog could despise
and an eager wagging willingness to cheat

The heady aphrodisiac of power
keeps many spouses married and discreet
and though nothing may look certain when the press pulls back the curtain
they’ll very soon skate over the deceit

The heady aphrodisiac of power
rarely sways the average voter on the street
all they can see is a charlatan frolicking with a harlot and
bringing his party to the brink of a defeat.
