Mark Oaten on Question Time

I did not watch Question Time last night, but I am told this poem by Richard Lovelace is still appropriate:

O thou that swing'st upon the waving hair
Of some well-fillèd oaten beard,
Drunk every night with a delicious tear
Dropt thee from heaven, where thou wert rear'd!

I should point out that Barry's Beef posted this verse before me, but I came across it independently a while ago.
