Hey.

You made a typo here.

"brushes of all his hate,"

The last stanza was funny, and I really liked it. You said:

"That's why we all love Michael Gove,

(except the teachers,)

Yes we all love Michael Gove,

(except the students,)

We all love Michael Gove,

(except the parents,)

Yes we all love Michael Gove!"

I also have no idea who he is so I can't love him...

Hi I'm not going to review because I'm on my phone and it's hard to type but I will say this: I am in Scotland our education system is kind of going through it's own turmoil right now but every time I see him in the news, I shout at him to shut up even though he has nothing to do with me. he is being allowed to run rampant within the government and someone really needs to get a leash on him, like RIGHT NOW

Glad to meet another fan of the Govester :-)

Haha :) even in his pictures he looks like a petulant child!

Oh my God, did you hear?! In the recent cabinet-reshuffle, Michael Gove got replaced by a minister called Nicky Morgan! CONGRATULATIONS!

All thanks to my lyrics :)

Hello, there, Sarah here to review for ya! With my little knowledge of "Michael Gove" (I got the impression that he was a staff member of your school. A principal, maybe?), this review might be hugely misunderstood, so I'll try my best.

The sarcasm is hilariously heavy in this poem, which makes it seem like a big "Screw you!" with a smug smile. Three words. I. Love. It.

I'd say your structure was unique. Certainly of that I've never encountered in my past reviews which is just another reason to read your poem. Your words are simple and tight, really gets the point across in a very humanly manner. As I've said in many of my reviews, I love simplicity in a poem. It keeps it clean and concise.

As for my nitpicks, your punctuation could have been slightly better. It was a rare occasion that I'd find something in the wrong place or a punctuation missing but there were a few I was able to find (After going through about, five times or so! XD). Use your commas to a certain extent but don't over use them.

In conclusion, your poem was on point. I had a good laugh and an entertaining experience reading it. Great work, my friend, and happy writing!

Thanks! Don't forget to like!
Michael Gove is the Minister of Education in Britain at the moment :-)

I don't know much about this Michael Gove guy, but I love the satire used in this song/poem, but I'm leaning more towards the song aspect of it. I'm only glad that America is changing our school system, and I mean the schools below college, because I just graduated, but now I feel bad for my sister.

I'm sorry about how your school system is going about, and I do admit that this sarcastic poem has created some relief of the mind. I have to say that I love the humor of it. I can see that you've done some research on this guy, seeing that you said that he's never been a teacher in the school system. Research is the best thing you can do because the more you know, the more you can use.

Keep writing.
