Where tea cups are no longer free
So Bojo proposes
Before a shop closes
Try bra cups temporarily

But when he was sixteen and quick, 
Was captured by pirates horrible, 
Taken to Ireland adorable, 
Where he found god, his walking stick.

Snake Bit

There once was a banker from Britain

Who sat on a snake and was bitten

    But his assets were apprised

    To have quadrupled in size

While attending nurses were smitten!

Of Tetley’s and V-2's
(or, “Why Not to Bomb the Brits”)

but tea-less, alas, they grow pitiable ...

and quite in a lather!
O bother, they're more than formidable.

Johnson's Job's Worth

Little matters the Corona Curse, little matters stockpile's dearth;
Of Johnson's job, clearance for virus is the very worth.
Infested with infection and inquietude, the entire Britain bawls: 
Boris, Boris, brought barathra engulfing my bedside berth!

A Country Destroyed

A Country destroyed 

And all nations 
Want their fair share.
France
Britain
USA
Israel
Norway
Poland
Want their lucre.
That is why
Kaddafi 
Was handed over
To the murderous thugs
Of Bengasi
Who killed him?
And now we have ISIS.
Could it be the oil?

Lost

the roots of my soul run deep,
deep like the river in the mother land of African

my mind is complex,complex
 like the mazes of Britain 

my future is vague, 
vague as religan 
my strength is great ,
great like galieath 

my love is lost 
lost like the city of Atlantis
