Peter Wyton from Gloucester is a fantastic poet. He joins us on the show from time to time. Whilst we are on air he scribbles topical ditties on that day's subject matter.

Boundary changes have been controversial at this election. He lives in the Longlevens area of the marginal seat of Gloucester. His vote this time however moves to the safe seat of Tewkesbury. This is his poetic response.

"I dwell in Longlevens, it's next door to heaven,
I couldn't live anywhere nicer.
I've a semi-detached where my kiddies were hatched
And a little lump sum in my ISA.

And my only complaint is the fact that I ain't
Permitted to vote in my city.
I was wedded to Gloucester, but now that I've lost her,
It doesn't half get on my titty.

The Boundary Commission's outrageous decision
To place me in Tewkesbury's border
Is an absolute swizz. By my reckoning it is
Offensive and right out of order.

Tewkesbury's pleasant but I'm not a resident
I fly the banner of Glevum
If I find the Wally who sanctioned this folly,
It's into the Severn I'll heave him.

I'm cherry and white, by day and by night,
Cathedral boy - not from an abbey.
This commission's decision provokes my derision,
It's silly and stupid and shabby."
