the numbers game


The dust has settled
The normal day begins
Though the crushing numbers
It's a long way

The Old Man's master stroke
He gets where he wants it
Every party claims to support him
He sits pretty cool in his office

The horse trading hasn't finished
The crushing numbers need to be found
PH has a likely chance to return to rule
There is no need for a snap election

The Old Man only has to command
His own party to return to the fold in PH
Else as a supporter of friendly ties
The number is in plain sight

The traitors get nothing
But still trying to sound relevant
They will be in history book
For trying to dishonour agreement

Now the Old Man sits alone
Working on his role as interim PM
Finding the numbers he knows where
It is in his plain sight
