The McConnell Log

Some smart Alex once said that Scotland will only be free when the last minister of the Kirk is strangled with the last copy of The Sunday Post. Now, thanks to Jack Topaz McConnell, that has all changed. Now they say that Scotland will only be free when the First Minister is strangled. Wee Jack, however, is much more than mere politician. Unknown to many of his countrymen, he is also poet and tragedian. For better and for verse. Much, much verse. Here, in a style owing much to lauded predecessors such as Burns, McGonagall and Dalglish, is the secret poetry of Jack Topaz McConnell.

Ode to Gorgeous George 
Indefatigable arse
Lickspittle arse
Popinjay arse
Respect? Ma arse

Charlie's awa 
Charlie's gone
As the Lib-Dems wished.
But did he jump
Or was he pished?

Ode to poor Charlie Kennedy 
He’s ginger
That’s the problem.
Don’t blame stress or Inverness,
It’s because he’s ginger.
It’s just no fair
To have red hair,
He drinks because he’s ginger.
Melanin in the cortex
Makes his roots go red.
Makes him mental in the head
And drink because he’s ginger.
Walk a mile in his hair
And then you’ll understand.
Don’t condemn.
Don’t rebuke.
Don’t give the ginger guy a dirty look.
Poor Charlie likes a drink
And you would too
If you were ginger.
