The Elusive Danny Kruger

Why Danny, so cute, but elusive Ornamental and yet unobtrusive Preferring to stay At the end of the day In locations a tad more exclusive Why Danny, you see, while there's cheese In the pond and the voters to please You could pop in to town Take the M4 and down To Devizes (one 'z' and two 'e's) Why Danny, you've come from above Like a glorious bright Tory dove With the light on your wings And your parachute strings And a note signed from Boris with love Why Danny, we've hoodies that you Can hug if you're so moved to do And a little white horse And a Poundland of course (that's a 'P' and two 'd's and a 'u') Why Danny, we wish you were here Come the day will you even appear Perhaps in The Bear Or the Pelican, yeah Bet you won't pop in there for a beer Why Danny, Devizes is nice But in Wiltshire there's mud and there's ice And Hammersmith's so Very pleasant you know (Spell Devizes? One 'D' and 'e' twice) Why Danny, you're cute enough, true But you're Boris's man through and through And you'll only appear About four times a year (There's no 'u' in Devizes. Who knew) © Gail Foster 4th December 2019
