Who ignored the advice doctors gave

He would only pay heed

To a few who agreed

With his NHS-trashing brainwave.

Engaged in unseemly affray.

Canvassing for Oats

When #Cameron visited Fife

Amid anti-union strife

The man had his oats

But may not have won votes

For dislike of the Tories is rife.
