from the morning paper

From the morning papers


We read the woman, a former actress
who stole a prince and was hated by the kingdom
is a duchess selling jam and pottery
Her husband, the prince, looks bewildered 
We also notice the woman who was 
prime minister, for a very short time found 
crawling things on the carpet, given
its former occupant, this was not surprising
The woman with her short reign has 
written a book, in the hope of being regarded 
as something more than a misses Bean
laying her awkward talent bare in The USA
My view 




is that homegrown failures 
should not be exported or bought up like
water, to foreign investors
as rivers and lakes belong to the people 
to swim and drown without
interference from speculatants who 
muddy the water and turn it into sewers
