In This Bleak Midwinter

Topical...
  (+5)
(+5)
 

In the bleak mid-winter
Tory winds blew cold;
Man with heart of iron,
Boris was enthroned;
Votes had fallen, vote on vote,
Vote on vote,
In the bleak mid-winter
Not so long ago.

Brexit cannot hold Him
Nor EU sustain,
Socialism shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
Ten Downing Street sufficed
Next to God Almighty —
Johnson and his wife.

Enough for Him, whom tabloids
Worship night and day,
A fizzing magnum of champagne
And a Corbyn run away;
Enough for Him, whom Angels
Fall down before,
The forty seat majority
Which him adore.

Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But only Mrs Johnson
In her drunken bliss
Worshipped mophead Boris
With a kiss.

What can I give Him,
Right wing as I am? —
If I were a banker
I would bring him cash;
If I were a businessman
I would do my part, —
Yet what I can I give Him, —
Votes were just the start.

       //Johnson and his wife// - Who?!

       Well, someone's wife (allegedly) ....   

       Like David Lloyd George ...   

       As General Haig said, "I can't abide these politicians. I can't trust them with anything - they all tell their wives. Except for Lloyd George, of course, and he tells somebody else's wife ..."

       In the bleak midwinter used to be my favourite carol.

       //Who?!//   

       Mrs Palmer perchance?   

       Now if Johnson were his christian name he'd be..   

       Hmm.. there's still hope for the future though, maybe we can find Mr Johnson a nice Miss Palmer to marry, & they can hyphenate their names for their children?

       Sang In the Bleak Midwinter in church the other day, spent the time thinking of 8th, enjoying how much he would have enjoyed pissing me off from beyond the grave.

       Too funny, thanks [calum].

       Don't pay attention to other countries' politics so I didn't bun this. None of my business and I couldn't care less, but 8th had my proxy on all things "over there" so [+].   

       Miss ya brother.

       There once was a young man called Boris,
who's favourite pet was a Loris.
He fed it on flies, and tissues of lies
and gave it the name of sweet Doris.
  

       I actually wrote two Limericks about Boris aka Brexit Boris. This was the first one:   

       There once was a young man called Boris
who's name he had changed to Doris.
As he hid from the press while wearing a dress,
he forgot to take care of his Loris.
