Hello my lovely readers
Today's post is a plea to people in the UK who are eligible to vote in the General Election this Thursday, 12th December. I've already voted, because we were going to be away, but I want to ask everyone else to vote carefully. Particularly for the sake of the NHS, and the crucial support it provides. As a wheelchair user, I'm acutely aware of its importance, and my experiences in that regard are the inspiration for tonight's sonnet. The featured photo is me, having been raised off the ground at a recent emergency trip to the wheelchair service. But I was also a premature baby, and life with Cerebral Palsy since then has required a lot of engagement with many different teams. My friends in other countries (SA included) aren't granted that resource, and the difference in provision is stark. So please, for the sake of the NHS, choose your vote wisely, and if you want to protect it - vote Labour.
With love and thanks from your friendly neighbourhood political Parrott.

This poem celebrates the NHS
in hopes that the UK will vote on Thursday
to ensure that we save it from duress
and stop before we give it any worse days.
For me, my friends, and all the other people
who live our lives with need of its assistance,
I ask as we approach th'election's steep hill
to use your vote to signal your resistance.
My pals in SA get little support
with managing their chronic health conditions.
One British thing I am proud to report:
t'National Health Service's essential mission.
It's held on now since 1948 -
please help secure it before it's too late.
