Elections are my theme today
There’s
Italy* - in
disarray;
And, after two months of debate,
Who will the seat of Boris take?
Our Emerald Isle is up for grabs
But times are hard and Likely Lads
Have not all stepped up to the plate
Balmoral - and the Nation - wait!
This poem’s lifespan will be short
As politics - a lively sport
Keeps us fairly on our toes;
In this uncertain world, who knows**?
Global warming, flood and fire
Whichever way you look, it’s dire;
Plus, the escalating costs of fuel…
Life at the top can be surreal!
