Dinner at the Masala with the comrades ...




Three hours before the count, the comrades met in the Masala 

We'd door knocked long days in the pinched streets - 

We'd heard German Shepherds barking behind front doors - 

A roughly hewn woman had told the Tory teller I no longer vote Labour - I read in the Daily Mail that Corbyn hates the Army -

I'd walked up pristine driveways as well as between menacing hedges - 

I had nothing but admiration for my comrades -

Cherry was a champion for her community, valiant and true - 

Over Merlot and dhal we would redeem this blue world -
