Carol Thatcher's Golliwog

PC?
Not me!
You must be thinking of the BBC!
They'll soon be winning, can't you see,
The Nobel Prize for Stupidity!

What's that you said?
'Golliwog'?
For Heaven's sake!
They'll burn you at the effing stake!

No good saying you were joking, my dear,
This is the end of your career!

(Perhaps we're dumb,
Perhaps they just didn't like your mum!)
