Poem giving my opinion on the British 2010 general election and the hung parliament situation.

Stubby pencil in hand: X for SNP,
Same party support since 1987.
Satisfaction – SNP MP returned, Dundee East;
Frustration – only 6 SNP MPs elected.
Party leaders flex their muscles in
A well-hung parliament.
Cameron-Clegg coalition talks -
Joint adrenalin-fuelled majority over
Labour, stymied by ideology.
Afghanistan-wounded Brown
Preparing to resign by autumn.
Labour kicked hard in the ballots -
Except in loyal Scotland -
Tories’ bid for power hamstrung by
Lone MP north of border; Salmond in
His element, exploiting Holyrood-
Westminster rifts and legitimacy of
Tory rule in Scotland, via Westminster.
As Scot Nats rule the Holyrood roost,
A confused general public switches off.
