A defiant Boris Johnson [ ah, the poor wee toddler]

tresco_2019-1-1

A defiant Boris Johnson [ ah, the poor wee toddler]
will use this weekend’s Tory  [ who is it this weekend?]
conference in Manchester to double [ maths again]
down on his “peoplev parliament” rhetoric, [Ancient Greek]
after a tumultuous week      [you don’t say]
in which he was accused  [go to Confession]
of dangerously            [ could it ever be safely?]
inflaming political tensions. [ do you  mean tendons?]

Downing Street insiders insist  [ to whom]
they have not been blown off course [ it’s those winds  of change]
by the furious condemnation of Johnson’s
repeated use
of the phrase “surrender bill” [Is this a Western?]
to describe the backbench Benn Act. [ a comedy of terrors]

Instead, they claim they will use the [so do I, THE poet]
party conference to drive [what licence!]
home their “Get Brexit  [I prefer porridge]
Done” slogan, launch [ a lifeboat?]
a string of manifesto-friendly policies –  [ manifestly?]
and attack Jeremy Corbyn 
as too weak [ ahaaha]
to lead Britain.

Johnson’s unapologetic stance comes [ plenty of climaxes today]
after           [ it sure does]
 Amber Rudd joined the chorus [ as a contralto]
of condemnation against his aggressive use [ah, men]
of language, saying she was [ like Gd]
“disappointed and stunned”, [ a fine  state]
and warning it could incite
violence against opponents.[ is it not meant to?]

The prime minister still hopes to press ahead  [ he can borrow my steam iron]
with somehow securing a Brexit 
deal in the brief
window remaining be [ can a window be brief or wear briefs?]
before the 17 October European Council
– and push it through parliament, [ come on Sisyphus]
against the backdrop of political turmoil. [get North Sea Oil]

Despite the horror  [ Auschwitz]
with which many Labour MPs
greeted Johnson’s bellicose performance [ ballet to harm]
in the Commons on Wednesday, No 10 still
believes there will be intense pressure  [ torture]
on those MPs who represent leave constituencies [ bad grammar]
to support a deal.[ why can’t it support itself, like I  do

“If we came back with a Deal, [We have one near Dover]
I think there would be real political pressure ;[ not  in my blood]
to really push through: if you’re in a Brexit seat,[what a bum]
do you really want to go into an election  [No]
having rejected Brexit?”  { I shall  eat Weetabix]
the government [Ahahahahahaha]
Source  [what, of the Thames?]
Said. [President of Egypt who made peace with Israel and was shot]

You can count as well

Doctor, I have lost my husband
Does he wear a collar with his address on?
He’s not an animal
I am sorry to hear that.How about a phone  round his neck
Doctor,you are trying to distract me
Where were you when  you lost him?
In the hospital
Were you ill?
No but he was
In that case he can’t have gone far
You’d be surprised just how  some  go
I am sure he will be back home when you return
I hope not
Why?
To be  blunt, he has shuffled of this mortal coil
Would you mind speaking English?
It is Shakespeare
Who is he?
Don’t bother, just  give me something for arthritis
Is it bad?
Well, it’s not a load of laughs
Is it flaring up?
Yes
Get your husband to massage you with wintergreen oil
Would you like a ghost to massage you?
You mean he’s……
Yes, I do mean that
Well, you do look paler than usual
This is foundation cream
Well it’s too light for you,you look ill
Would you not look ill after having cancer near your one working eye
then finding your spouse was fading away.
Well, your eyes look alright
The point is can I see ?
Come back after the surgery is closed and I will show you
I certainly won’t.You are not an opthalmologist
No,but I do like you
What’s that got to do with it?
I suppose it’s wrong to woo a patient
It’s illegal but if Boris Johnson can get away with it,so might you
Still, I can’t forget my husband
Don’t worry. Time is a great healer
Yet another aphorism
Wow, I am a doctor but you are smarter than me
I’m just  pretending.My IQ is only 65 but I pretend it’s 165
So bright and so beautiful
Lay off or my old man will haunt you
I always liked him
That makes two of us
You can count as well!

Love  unordered , appetite for life

The grass is subtly greener in the wild
The little flowers like jewels attract my eyes
Order is the death wish minimised

An over-tidy house  does not beguile
I like a garden which may bring surprise
The grass is subtly greener in the wild

Poisoned weeds upon the earth  all sprawl
Waiting for assistance ,they soon die
Order is the death wish minimised

The phone is ringing, up these calls shall rise
In the garden I shall find allies
The grass is subtly greener in the wild

 What matters is the substance not the size
See the wren and sparrow upwards fly
Love is  what grows better sorts of life

I found a  little cherry tree  nearby
Blossom in the shrubs,oh,love I cried
The grass is subtly greener in the wild
Love  unordered , appetite for life
