Sixteen

If the politics of Britain continues as it is,
Then satirists will be out of a job.
Clearly some MP's should begin thinking more,
Before they decide to open their gob.

Take for instance the debate about votes at sixteen,
That raised the following claim
That late teens would become more. sexually vulnerable,
And their voting would be solely to blame.

It certainly the case that childhood is short,
We are all exposed at a much earlier age.
To adverts, peer pressure, for gadgets and toys,
Being body beautiful at every life stage.

But the comments about getting involved in politics,
Leading to more criminality.
Were laughable in so many ways, said as they were,
Without a semblance of irony.
