a one hundred and twenty first new poem ... 'legacy'

Dave (and Jesus)
Wept as the Commons
Gave
A standing ovation
And the BBC
Ran on rotation
Headlines proclaiming
Him the Greatest Briton in
The history of the nation, since
King Alfred or from whence
Records began
And all fifteen of his
Fans from Prestwick to
Camberwell 
Met up in
Bury St Eds to raise
A toast at the Nutshell,
Little England’s smallest
Pub, featuring a
Mummified cat,
A pig's head in a hat 
And
Severely devalued
Sterling notes
Smeared on
The walls.
