Arise, ye plentiful Chav - pull thy socks up
steal thine cap & drink thy special brew.
It will give thee the strength of twenty
fat men. Brotherhood in the crew
as in jobseekers as in on earth.
Hitherto ye can glare a high-stare,
proud of thy great-bellied girlfriends girth,
because of the labouring children she dothest bare.
Alas! Ye plentiful Chav - doctors of Ignorance.
Flash those stolen teeth - frown for the Officer.
Embarrassment glows and dims through time,
mellowness can switch to rage by an offer.
Thou Thief, canst ye bring unto thee thy bacon?
Do not freeze in the spot-light of Farmfoods;
ransack the Whig's shelves they're wanton!
Nay! They knowest lavish estates not neighbourhoods.
Yet they administrate thy Council.
Arise, ye plentiful Chav - take counsel.
Poetry
Arise, ye plentiful Chav

The archaic language worked well here - with the context - made me smile.
Like tehe ending.

I enjoyed reading this. Especially this line:
Do not freeze in the spot-light of Farmfoods;
ransack the Whig's shelves they're wanton!
which raises a smile as the poem is read through to the end.
Agree that the language works well in kind of tongue in cheek way.
Enjoyed
