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)
