It is framed by the evolving landscape that we find ourselves in today,
I have been using a blue sky thinking group
To helicopter above day-to-day issues
And perform a radical re-boot.

I am making policy,
It's about quantitative easing,
It's about sustainable growth in childhood obesity,
Using industry-led initiatives funded by the taxpayer,
Feed-in tariffs,
And voluntary regulation.

I am making policy,
It's about using green incentives
To reduce teenage pregnancy,
It's about ring-fencing moral values
Using riot police,
I have produced a road map to deliver transition:
I have a plan for every family to drive down the information superhighway,
With all the windows blacked out.

The piggybank is empty,
But I am making policy:
It's about rebalancing the economy;
It's about flexible dynamic optimisation of resource allocation;
It's about finding pennies down the back of your sofa,
And reallocating them,
By removing your sofa.
I have a plan for the progression to a low carbon economy,
By writing 'low carbon',
In front of 'economy'.

I am making policy,
It's about jump starting recovery
Using a defibrillator powered by cheap clean renewable energy,
It's about stimulating the local economy
By talking dirty with economists,
And creating free enterprise zones,
So called because they cost nothing,
And you have to be enterprising
To get out of them.

I am making policy,
It's about societal standards,
It's all about respect,
It's far better than their policy;
They who are no more than feckless animals,
Wallowing in their own ordure,
They who would throw us all to the wolves should they have their way.
It's about making a balanced decision,
The right choice.

I am making policy,
We are by no means down and out;
We are moving forward,
It's about us all progressing up the skills escalator together,
Whilst standing on the right to allow others to pass.
It's about advancing up the competency scale,
Whilst avoiding eye contact with descending bum notes,
Because they're not really there;
All the escalators go up,
So we couldn't see them coming down anyway.

I am making policy,
It's about inclusivity,
It's about consultation,
It’s about 360° feedback,
It's about conferring with the foremost experts
And then ignoring them,
It's about running as fast as you can down a tunnel with your hands over your ears,
For a minimum period of 16 weeks,
As prescribed by best practice guidance.

I am making policy,
I have a rough skeletal model of where I see the various synergetic nodes,
It's all about transparency,
I've been told that I'm too honest,
By people that don't know the truth.
I have been working late at night;
It's about dining with newspaper executives,
It’s about facilitating proactive resolution of preventable incidents,
It's about potentially harmful information that it is not in the public interest to disclose,
It's about safeguarding the country's interests, our interests, my interests.
It's about me sleeping with my wife's sister
And claiming stays at the Ritz on expenses.

I am making policy,
I am acting as a central resource for organisational change,
I have been cutting out the pieces of the budget deficit jigsaw,
It's about decentralisation
Of targets,
It's about transferring responsibility whilst retaining power,
It's about keeping voters on-side,
I like to balance on a seesaw;
It's about exercising control.

I am making policy,
It is coming to a smooth fruition:
I am riding a seesaw robustly,
Dressed as Widow Twanky,
Wearing ear defenders.
Are you still following me?
I am making policy,
It's about you,
It's about what you can do,
What's written down here,
And what isn't.
