Commonwealth Affairs, 2016.  http://www.gov.uk)

 

Bojo,

recovering your mojo?

You called Corbyn ‘a mutton-headed old mugwump,‘

but it’s uncool to preside over a parliament that’s only a ‘Rump.’

Boys’ Jobs?

boys' jobs, clerihew, Philip May, Theresa May

Philip May,

soon you might have your say.

Theresa, for all her sins,

will have time to share the ‘boys’ jobs’ – and to take out the bins.

New Tory Anthem

Tags

If you're Irish, Tory anthem

If you’re Irish come into the parlor,
There’s a welcome there for you;
If your name is Timothy or Pat,
So long as you come from Ireland,
There’s a welcome on the mat,
If You come from the Mountains of Mourne,
Or Killarney’s lakes so blue,
We’ll sing you a song and we’ll make a fuss,
Whoever you are you are one of us,
If you’re Irish, this is the place for you!

Amber Rudd, clerihew, magic money tree

Amber Rudd,

after that debate, your name was mud.

So patronising to talk about a magic money tree

that pays out to you and not to me!
