As Dominic Cummings is back in the news, interfering as he's been doing in the defence review, it seems timely to post this, especially as it's a music website. Slightly out of date, admittedly. Sing this to the tune of Old McDonald...

By the way, it was written by a friend of a friend of a friend who is in a poetry club...

Ahem...

Dominic drove to Daddy’s farm
Ee -i, ee-i, o
He took his sick wife and his bairn
Ee -i, ee-i, o
With a cough-cough here,
And a sore throat there;
Here a cough, there a cough,
Everywhere a cough-cough.
Dominic drove to Daddy’s farm,
Ee -i, ee-i, o

Daddy’s farm was quite a jaunt
Ee -i, ee-i, o
But on that farm lived his son’s aunt
Ee -i, ee-i, o
With some child-care here,
And some child-care there;
Here a niece, there a niece,
Everywhere a nice niece.
Daddy’s farm was quite a jaunt
Ee -i, ee-i, o

Dominic started feeling ill
Ee -i, ee-i, o
It was Covid19, not some chill
Ee -i, ee-i, o
With a virus here,
And a virus there;
Go to bed! Go to bed!
Got a very sore head.
Dominic started feeling ill
Ee -i, ee-i, o

Dominic thought his eyesight poor
Ee -i, ee-i, o
So drove his car just to make quite sure
Ee -i, ee-i, o
With a pee stop here,
And a picnic there;
Here a pee, there a pic,
Everywhere a picnic.
Dominic thought his eyesight poor
Ee -i, ee-i, o


Dominic’s home with child and spouse
Ee -i, ee-i, o
Living in their London house
Ee -i, ee-i, o
With the flashlights here,
And the tabloids there;
Here a flash, there a flash,
Everywhere’s a flash-dash.
Dominic’s home with wife and spouse,
Ee -i, ee-i, o

Dominic went to meet the press
Ee -i, ee-i, o
Said he had nothing to confess
Ee -i, ee-i, o
Made good judgements here,
Made good judgements there;
Here a judge, there a judge,
Everywhere a good judge.
Dominic went to meet the press
Ee -i, ee-i, o

Dominic’s back at work again
Ee -i, ee-i, o
Running things from Number 10
Ee -i, ee-i, o
With quick fib here,
And a quick fib there;
Here a fib, there a fib,
Fibbing gaily ad lib.
Dominic’s back at work again
Ee -i, ee-i, o
