Soliloquy at 7 Race Course

Lets get Noo-key-lear Bush wrote

There I was hitching my sail to his boat

little did I realize I would end up with that lump in my throat

Of how I swallowed my pride to keep this Government afloat

 

That I wanted to call their bluff was a misquote

 All I sought was a stick for Karot

little did I realize I would end up with that lump in my throat

Of how I swallowed my pride to keep this Government afloat

The honeymoon ended they said, but we were just betrothed

to the CMP, stop the deal they said lobbing the ball to my court

little did I realize I would end up with that lump in my throat

Of how I swallowed my pride to keep this Government afloat

Her Madam bemused by the prospect of an early ballot

 

The Heir Apparent inclined to intern ?  not quite yet

little did I realize I would end up with that lump in my throat

Of how I swallowed my pride to keep this Government afloat

 

Sensing an opportunity wily Pranab sold her on Bengali rift

Basu, Buddha whined but Karat did not wilt

little did I realize I would end up with that lump in my throat

Of how I swallowed my pride to keep this Government afloat

 

To save the party’s face, wily Pranab, she sought

negotiate he did, with Yechury, only to purport

the Left’s agenda, oh that lump in my throatI just swallowed my pride to keep this Government afloat

 

negotiations with IAEA cut short

committe on Hyde, a climbdown of sorts

officially mum but cant hide that lump in my throat

sunk my pride and with it the deal, just to keep this Government afloat

 

 my authority overidden my standing diminished

my threats empty my deputy counting the days for my exit

deny I will there ever was a lump in that throat

will keep up the pretense, to save my pride and with it this Government, still afloat
