Hilary 2011

The next piece I can find is my first from Hilary '11, a term of Mods, and a time of great suffering for the whole JCR. As such, I was largely excused my lyrical duties, but I did manage to produce this piece for hte first JCR meeting. It was read aloud to deafening applause by Gareth Langley, back before his name was synonymous with constitutional griping, and was simply synonymous with a more generic brand of griping. (Sorry, Taff). Enjoy, ponder and savour:


I’d like to extend a small lyrical greeting
(and offer most humble excuses)
At this, the first of the JCR’s meetings
(see, even our Gareth has uses)

You may not see me around quite so much
(which I know will upset and dismay you)
But this is my mods term, a bit of a bitch
(Cuz if you don’t pass ‘em, they flay you)

So expect a Welsh voice-piece for most of my work
(And read it again on your nexus)
And marvel, for even with mods I don’t shirk
Away from the strains of my lexis.

So get straight to work with the motions this week!
With customary stout resolution!
For the Tories have stuffed all our fees up the creek
And we’ve written a new constitution

Let’s deal with the budget, and let’s all discuss
Constitutional ratification,
A nine thousand limit on tuition fees
And ‘widening participation’

That’s it for this week, no more can be said
(I’ll let Jack and Soph have a turn!)
So let’s kick it off, let the motions be read
Welcome back folks, and have a good term!
