WESTMINSTER PALACE (AFTER A.A. MILNE) - 181221

WESTMINSTER PALACE (After A.A. Milne)

The unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

The country's in uproar because of that Boris

Except for the readers of Daily Express

"Who keep saying I'm a roaring success"

                                             Says Boris

The unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

All of their headlines are written by Boris

Boris has had his incompetence starred

"A Prime Minister's life is terribly hard"

                                             Says Boris

The unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

Another big scandal involving that Boris

They still think he's great for acting the fool

"Underestimation is such a great tool"

                                             Says Boris

The unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

Even his own side don't think much of Boris

"I gave them big parties despite all the rules"

"Back then they all acted like they'd won the pools"

                                             Says Boris

The unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

Everything 'bout him is total artifice

"Alexander Boris dePfeffer Johnson's the name"

"But playing the ordinary Joes is this game"

                                             Says Boris

The unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

Lining his pockets and lying to your face

"It really doesn't matter how often I've lied"

"I really don't care how many have died"

                                             Says Boris

NEW VERSE!!!

The Unchanging old guard at Westminster Palace

Everything’s fine according to Boris

Ah, but what about that David Frost?

“There was nothing gained but then nothing lost”

                                             Says Boris

(They practically write themselves)

LOCKDOWNNIVERSARY

 How to celebrate the Lockdownniversary...?

Make a five tier toilet roll wedding cake replica, perhaps...?

Park on a couch made of tins of beans and Binge-watch a brand new show...?

Point at passing people and then make some “that’s not two metres!” bunting...?

Maybe try some poetry...?

LOCKDOWNNIVERSARY 

Must we remind the forgetful 

Of the derision and disdain

Our politicians and press

Had for Italy and Spain

When for several weeks before

When their outlook looked so grim

They took sensible precautions

Unlike the likes of him...

Who shouted to the rafters

“That’s not the British way!”

“The economy is everything!”

Such a price we’ve had to pay

And now a year’s slid swiftly by

Seasons merging into one

History blurred and edited

By those who think the sun...

Still shines from his a-hole

The devious bamboozling prick

And his parliament of rogues

Who really make us sick

So happy lockdownniversary

To survivors everywhere 

Let’s hope we’ve used our time quite well 

To create a world more fair

LOCKDOWN WORLD 010221

LOCKDOWN WORLD  (010221)

The morning feed
Algorithmically
Seems obsessed
With scammers bearing

Get Rich Quick schemes

As if we in
This lockdown world
Long redundant
Income-free

Have funds a-plenty

And savings to burn
As we contemplate
Where our next meal
Might be coming from

After decades as An employee Until let go Between you and me

I haven’t a clue Without a doubt This tricky problem How to go about

Making a living Working for myself Confidence shot Fuzzy mental health Plus deep distrust of Those seeking wealth

Where to start Without any plan

Never mind the doubt

Of whether you can

When a question comes That cripples you How much would you charge For that thing you do

And the brain goes bang For you know inside How worthless you are All that fear you hide

How could you ever Request a fee For anything more Than 50p
