Beware of the albatross, under radar he flies.' If he gets
To a neck hold? I say' kiss your 'foi gras' goodbye.!
Forget about co-ahesion, play it cool with your hand.'
Now you're clear of the wilderness, keep your counsel
Private, stay ever oh so slightly un-planned.'

And so it’s make your mind up time, right here in the U.K.
I guess you’ll get the same thing soon, in the U.S. of A
Candidates will waffle on each night and every day
The gullible will swallow every single word they say
For the won’ts then will and the wills then won’t
While the don’ts all do ad the dos all don’t
And some veer left and some veer right
And some will talk like black is white
It’s yes means no and no means yes
And less means more and more means less
No wonder we’re in such a mess
When their true views we can but guess
In this campaign that’s laden with
Paid saboteurs and nobblers
Integrity means my vote goes
To he who answered, “Cobblers!”
—————————————————————————————
[Only Nigel Farage would answer a stupid question with
A plain, simple “Cobblers”. Indeed, he did just that in
Interview with the BBC’s Nick Robertson. Go, Nigel!]

Nigel likes to talk about planes
And trains and motorbikes.
He has a few friends
Who like the same.
I say to him: "Why does the piston go up and down?"
He tells me,
But I don't really understand.
I go back to my poetry books
And let my imagination soar.
While Nigel gets on his bike and makes it roar.

Nigel is Britain’s most successful boccia player,
Having won eight major titles at the Worlds, Paras,
And so spoke out when Rio’s organisers, clever,
Refused to televise boccia’s intriguing blethers.
He says that boccia sports people need to get,
“our foot in the door” of live television coverage:
“I was disappointed in London [that] we didn’t get,
the media attention other sports did,” sacrilege,
which is frustrating because we [do] really want to,
showcase our sport. It’s very easy for me to say
boccia is fantastic. It’s brilliant, but unless [you know],
other people can get access to it, [okay, make way],
through the media, the wider audience are not,
going to get to know about boccia [sport straight].”
He refuses to retire so that he can get and pot,
“more publicity for the athletes in future.” Wait.
Born on 22nd May 1964 he’s an experienced man,
And won in Sydney 2000 a gold for the individual,
In Portugal 2002 two golds, Brazil 2006 he did can,
A bronze, then gold, silver in Beijing, he did angle.

Christie MOSES is a great poetess.
Her pen MOVES with great finesse.
For her MORES in poetic verse,
Are like MOREL mushrooms immersed;
Sautéed MOTEL hot delicacies;
Ice cold HOTEL chilled daiquiris.
Relate a HOVEL to nice accommodations,
Is like a NOVEL with poor adaptations.
For my NAVEL hurts when I laugh,
By the GAVEL of laughter’s wrath.
I try to RAVEL all that I have learned,
But the RIVEL of my broken heart burns.
Orion’s RIGEL, Bellatrix, and Betelgeuse,
And PS’s NIGEL and Christie are my muse.
