NOTE

  1. The mosaic rhyme in the first couplet highlights how his name is pronounced, ie (d)rama-pause-ah.
  2. The third cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa, also known as the Government of National Unity (GNU), is the incumbent cabinet of the Government of South Africa. (Many of his cabinet picks are still wet behind the ears. ~Su)

     

Cyril Ramaphosa Would dearly like a drama pause. Ah! Despite reshuffling the GNU Cabinet with much care, He must tolerate the babes in arms, still a cross to bear.

Su, I appreciate your support for my Flash Poetry Challenge (10). I knew little about Cyril Ramaphosa before reading your well-written Clerihew and Poet's Notes. I then enjoyed reading his Wikipedia page and some top news stories. Your postings are so interesting and educational. :)
