The Gord’s Prayer

Guido has run a list of what happens when you type “Gordon Brown is” into Google. It suggests a long line of search strings based on what other people have entered. None are printable here – except the second one. “Gordon Brown is my shepherd.” Now, you might ask, who on earth is searching for this? Well, it’s the start to a poem that was “doing the rounds” (as Damian McBride would say), a kind of Gord’s Prayer. Gordon Brown poems are a curious phenomenon, and I am sent them now and again by my News of the World readers: all hilarious, none printable. (One opened “Gordon Brown’s from Scotty Town, his government’s a farce…” I can leave you to guess the rest). Anyway, here is the rest of the “Shepherd” poem – this one, at least, is printable. Who says our Prime Minister isn’t inspirational?

Gordon Brown is my shepherd, I shall not work.
