Mr. Common Sense

          Mr Common Sense

 Common Sense had been around countless years.

His birth records got lost in bureaucratic

Red Tape. It made him angry -- shed a few tears.

Authorities wanted him out and quick!

He was so wise, for instance - don't spend

more that what you earn. That plastic card,

Respect it. And keep a check on every pound.

Many didn't listen - take it on board.

Folks, they got in debt, many of them youngsters!

Mr Sense looked on and it got him down

He became so depressed, began to frown

Their foolishness resulted in debtors.

It was Mr Sense's idea when kids do wrong

Chastise - discipline them if necessary!

Then political correctness came along

Saying, ”You do that, you'll end up in custody.

And so, he began to deteriorate.

It was when the “Political Correctness”

Brigade came into force, to demonstrate

Their stupid ideals - out of touch, clueless!

Criminal get better deal than victim.

On patrol, police dogs must wear a muzzle

Burglars - their human rights are premium.

Mr Sense found it so unbearable.

All the illogical changes - the stress

Made Common Sense very ill -- he died!

Those that remembered him could only guess

He died from a broken heart and they sighed!

Only a few attended his funeral,

Most folks didn't realize he had gone!

His parents “Truth and Justice, unable

To cope -- made redundant - couldn't go on.

They died too. Also his wife -- Discretion.

His daughter - Responsibility,” all

Gone. He is survived by “De Fection,”

And “N.O. Dignity,” -- distant aunt and uncle!

Do you remember Mr Common Sense, if so start showing

This letter round; or join the majority and do nothing!
