CHURCHILLIAN   

THE EPITHET PREFERRED BY BRITAIN’S P-M  

NOT REPTILIAN  

A DRAGON FOR THE NATION NONETHELESS  

CRITICS SAY HIS MISTAKES DRAG ON  WITHOUT COMING TO A HEAD  

NO ONE IN GOVERNMENT LOSES THEIRS   

INSTEAD 

LIES ARE FOUND OUT THEN FADE AWAY AS IF BY MAGIC   

HIS IS A PERFORMANCE OF CHURCHILL  OTHERS OBSERVE     

BULLDOG CHEEKS VIA MONTY PYTHON  MORE THAN BULLINGDON    

BUT WASN’T WINSTON’S BRITANNIA  ALSO A PANTOMIME DAME?   

MUGGING HIS SPIRITUAL ANCESTOR   

BORIS GIVES US THE END OF THE PIER SHOW

RATHER THAN THE END OF THE WORLD  

PILOT WHALES NEED PILOTING   

BEACHED IN TASMANIA   

EVEN WHEN MANHANDLED OUT OF THE BAY  

THEY BOOMERANG BACK IN   

BLUBBERY MAMMALS OVERWHELMED BY SHIFTING SANDS  

IN A NOW FAMILIAR WORLD

WHERE HISTORY IS FARCE FIRST TIME 

WISHING WE WEREN’T LOOKING AT HAVING 
TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN     
YOURS TRULY
