The  Topical Poet has got his teeth into poetry Friday again.  Two poems for you, one silly, one political.

The first one was inspired by a poet I saw on Monday called Leanne Moden. Check her out, she was very funny.

Leanne, it’s not only men who ask women to shave .

Topiary

She said that she might like

You know, if I didn't mind.

For me to have a little shave

But not the facial kind.

Just a little trouser trim

Such a simple task.

A boxer short back and sides

It’s not too much to ask.

She said it's getting out of hand

Like a forest full of trees.

Don't mind a bit of hair down there,

But not down to your knees.

But I think I might have messed it up.

I was trying to get it thinner,

I've taken off far too much

It looks like Yul Brynner.

My friend Carrick said that seeing our PM with the new POTUS made his toes curl. I think we all feel your pain. I wrote a poem.

Special Relationship

From World War 1 to Libya

we’ve stood side by side,

with our ‘merican cousins.

Special relationship we’ve cried. 

When Ronnie launched the arms race

and filled us all with fear

Maggie let Mr. Reagan

store his weapons here.

When Dubya bombed Afganistan

and then went into Iraq.

His special friend in London

said “George, I’ve got your back”.

A special relationship you say,

more like an unholy alliance.

we need them, more than they need us,

so there’ll always be compliance.

So Teresa’s gone to Washington

to meet he who I won’t name,

she’ll beg for a special deal

she’ll put Britain on the game.

She’ll take anything on offer

to get her hands on pretty green.

the NHS up for sale,

she’ll happily sell the queen

Despite his racist, sexist,

homophobic, rhetoric,

she’ll do a deal with the devil,

because she’s in the Brexit shit.

I hope you enjoy the poems, remember if you did please share them with your friends.

Have a great weekend and happy Chinese New Year.
