The English Cotswolds have a beauty fair

half-timbered houses reminiscent of the past

the walls of layered stone and reed-laid roofing there

where gentried folk did dwell and rich folk bask

in England's Green and Pleasant Land and moan

about the summer folk who come in hordes

to gawk at how the One Percent own homes

larger that their postal code as if they're lords

and ladies of the kingdom's hedonistic days

who try to wipe progressive thought from books,

decline to pay the taxes due; start frays

with famous TV personalities and cooks.

 But one thing I agree is arsehole Clarkson's stance

 that no-one needs a holidaying JD effing Vance.
