there’s a criminal
living in downing street
a man who has broken the law
everything bluff and bluster
let the rain stop play
for these Eton rifles

there’s a criminal
living in downing street
a man who has broken the law
risible
in the face of tears
jumping on graves

there’s a criminal
living in downing street
a man who has broken the law
shameless
nefarious
pies full of lies

where’s the poetry?
but this is no summertime
for beautiful words
livin’ ain’t easy
and dancing to the rhythm
it gets harder sings Lana

so in muted tones
laced with ire
I make no apolgies
“Johnson! In the name of God go!”
