Concerning TB-bearing hosts/

Were proven absurd/

And so he averred/

That badgers were moving the posts.

Loves a good left-bashing tale/
With brash editorials/
But crashing memorials?/
That’s beyond even his pale.

Who reckoned the unemployed shirk/
And so required claimants/
Of benefit payments/
To do some community work.
