'Twas The Week Before Christmas

'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the town
The rumour was spreading that UKIP was down
To it's very last penny, it hadn't the rent,
So the fourth largest party was packed up and sent

With its records and files and its office HQ,
And its list of addresses for me and for you,
With no sounding of fanfare, no roll of the drum,
To an old fireplace factory on outskirts of Brum.

The passwords were altered, the locks were replaced,
The office vacated with unseemly haste,
Miss A was evicted, and manhandled too,
While Hockney and Harvey got ready to sue

"This move is illegal" the branch chairmen said,
"The cabal must be harnessed or UKIP is dead"
But Farage and Knapman and Nattrass and Lott
And Clark The Enforcer will care not a jot -

What matters the party, when Euros advance?
And Brussels, not Westminster, holds out a chance
For an MEP hopeful intent on his prize,
With circles of stars shining bright in his eyes?

As members of UKIP go pounding the street
With petitions and leaflets for all whom they meet,
Why have ten years of effort in all that they do
Brought Britain no nearer to leaving EU?

Their party's fragmented throughout the UK,
A fresh crisis threatens with each passing day,
And NEC members in factions stay ranged
No matter how often their leaders are changed.

It's clear that when EU rewards are so high,
Ambition will triumph though party may die,
Will the last one remaining please turn out the light,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fight!

- Barboo
(with apologies to Major Henry Livingston Jr.)
