Wassail to the Puritan
Merry Christmas, Olly Cromwell,
Of the English Taliban –
You humourless and hypocritic man.
A busybody straight from Hell,
A spiter of all jollity –
A hero, then a hater of equality.
Here’s a Christmas toast
To the man who gave us back our kings –
You failed, you worthless sod – I hope that stings.
What England needed most right then
Was tolerance and peace
And years of sharing many Christmas geese.
