The Rooks of Westminster Or: Go! Go! Go!

The sun now sets so angry and red, As rooks above just scream and screech; Bemused they are, irate as well, The realm they know they now beseech. The sun enraged has hidden its face, And rooks above still screech and scream; The world, amazed, looks on aghast, At views and wrangles so extreme. And up and round they plunge and dart, Enraged and angered so they be; “Boris out!” they scream so loud, “A mandate to govern have I!” said he! So bizarre, the world now thinks! As rooks return to dance and scream; “Out! out!” all now cry! “‘Tis our land we now redeem!” Now in such disarray No choice has he but to creep away? Eventually…….. Ho! Ho! 7 July 2022 Boris Johnson (Prime Minister) has agreed to go after fifty plus members of his government had resigned following months of unremitting political turbulence spiked on Tuesday when the health secretary and chancellor quit within 10 minutes of each other over the PM's handling of sexual misconduct allegations against a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP).

Love creativity - especially writing - poems especially. Love my wife, cats, our church, reading, warm weather (so rare here!) and snow - quite common these days - even in spring....
