OULIPOST 2 LIPOGRAM: 'PUPAE POP UP'

 PUPAE POP UP

Osborne pledges full employment to woo votes.

He wanted the UK to be the best place; to create a job, to get a job,

to keep a job, to be helped to look for another job.

Feels better when you have a plan.

Rodents, where ever we travel, they do too.

Slow never felt so fast.

Japan has been ordered to end whale hunts.

Banks broke 'deals' over sell off.

Scotland could not keep the pound, purged

of the MPs from a country that was soon to separate from the rest of the UK.

Rodents, where ever we travel, they do too.

Dads who stay at home-should they not have advanced the most powerful argument of the lot?

Attempts to guarantee a job to every person are doomed.

Thousands more non-human heart beats stutter.

Rodents, where ever we travel, they do too.

Slow never felt so fast.

There are shudders at the top.

Panorama sources leaked before the show.

They can do nothing about the context.

Rats are seen by some as our natural successor.

Rodents, where ever we travel, they do too-

the era of the rat.
