“We need to show our solidarity
With our vital health workers, and be seen
To be good allies! After all it’s we
Who get them to their jobs! We’re very keen
To show support. But not for too much money.
The lockdown’s left us feeling rather sore.
The NHS has rainbows now. It’s funny…
I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before…
The Gay Pride bus! We’ll reappropriate it
To celebrate the NHS! No cost!
The LGBT lot are going to hate it
But they’ll have to admit, this time they’ve lost.”
Oh NHS, we stand alongside you:
Now rainbows mean lip-service for you, too!
