Jim`ll Fix It

“Jim Fixed It” with authorities
that he could come and go with ease,
and there are unconfirmed reports
that, in his golden Jockey shorts,
he’d roam with full impunity
because they’d given him the key!
 
To us, this action seems obtuse
resulting in child sex abuse.
But Jimmy Savile, OBE,
and lauded by the BBC,
became the hospital’s chief funder
so, nobody appeared to wonder,
 
or, if they did, they didn’t care
this weirdo with peroxide hair,
unsupervised could roam at large
amongst the children in their charge?
molesting them just as he chose
and tampering with their underclothes.

Hi Mike.  Brilliant!  I have always said that you can get away with much more if it rhymes.... and this DOES, beautifully; the metre is perfect,  as far as I can see.   I love the opening line, which says it all very succinctly,  I thought.

It is scary that, back in the 60s, it didn't seem as important, somehow.  

Thank you!!

Oops! .... meant to say that I'm not sure about the question mark after 'in their charge'
