Sometimes a poet, and their friends, has to say something in a way others can't. This is from a poet whose work I have long liked. He is Steve Pottinger, and he brought along his friends:

My wife looked up Sue Grey and it appears one of her long term functions is to decide whether candidates for peerages are “acceptable “. Apparently, she alone decides and has never given a reason for declining. Apparently, she doesn’t have to! This bizarre imperial hangover demonstrates Johnson’s impeccable judgement of character in selecting someone to investigate whether he himself was lying!
I will apologise for this at the start, but what do you expect from a retired agricultural engineer.
My doggerel of war!!!
ONLY BEING POETICALLY INVENTIVE
There once was an incompetent mayor of London
Who couldn’t keep his pants on
From criticism he was immune
With the nations health he plays pontoon
And he somehow escapes our lampoon
Yes, you’ve guessed, it’s that corrupt B – – – – – – –
Johnson
His speeches are often full of wit
And some think he is a big hit
But people must open their eyes
Most of what he says is lies
Rightwing torches he has lit
He is nothing but a big Sh- –
aimless hypocrite.
To find the truth we have to hunt
His nasty politics are an affront
To expose his lies we must be proactive
His disruptive distortions are very corruptive
Being honestly blunt
He is what we all expect from a C- – –
onservative.
If unseen words may sound offensive
The bard will step forward and be defensive
For the words you don’t see are inclined
To be the vivid products of a fertile mind
Only being truthfully and poetically inventive.
Steve Pottinger – terrific ! Thanks.
