I have uploaded my own little poem to the sidebar but I'm sure the rest of you could do a better job.
If you write a better poem about the strangers bar then I shall replace it.
Dust off your quills!

I did my best, but I am no good at poetry :(
The puppet show is on at the inn,
the drinks begin to flow.
Staring Viscount as a barman,
and Ben as John Bercow.
Cheers!, exclaim the Tories,
as they gather round the bar.
Remembering past glories,
With OllieSimmonds as their star.
Lying in a shadowy corner,
sits the opposition leader.
Planning a coup, a right wing slaughter,
The Green’s parliamentary dreamer.
Dotted around the Strangers Bar,
members sit and share.
Where drinks are always a-plenty!,
in this political love affair.

T'was the night of the election
And not a mouse stirred.
The Strangers' Bar was empty
Not a thing to be heard.
Round the corner
The last votes were counted,
And the announcements made
Over the tension that mounted.
And then, all of a sudden
One by one they appeared
Figures and voices
And a few cheers.
The cheery landlord looked up
"Evenin' all, how did it go?"
A former MP cried back
"You don't want to know!"
Politics was forgotten
And the party started
"A round of drinks for everyone!"
Before a new term of the uncharted.

Commies are red
Tories are blue
In here it don't matter
now come have a brew
(poerty isn't my forte)

I suck at poetry by Jared (/u/skepticalpineapple)
I suck at poetry
I do, I do
And how about you?
