Well it’s almost time to say goodbye to April. Well that was a different type of month. I still can’t believe 2020 has only been going for 4 months. Feels an awful lot longer than that.
Sadly it’s time to say goodbye to a regular friend. This week is the last Terrible Poetry challenge hosted by Chelsea Owen. Thank you Chelsea for the fun. The last challenge is as follows
- Topic: A bittersweet farewell to something completely ridiculous.
- Length: You choose.
- Rhyming: For old time’s sake, rhyme in the worst possible places.
- Make it terrible!
- Rating: PG or cleaner.
You have till 8:00 a.m. MST next Friday (May 1) to submit a poem to Chelsea.
So here goes with maybe the last bit of poetry on this blog. Let’s make it truly awful. There has been a fairly common theme in many of my terrible poems – someone called Boris. As he is completely ridiculous then let’s finish with him.
Oh Boris isn’t it time you went away
Surely it’s time for another holiday
Its only a few months since your last Caribbean jolly
How you must miss drinking all that expensive bolly
Your country is deep in crisis and finds itself in such a terrible mess
So many mistakes and lapses of judgement, yet you find it impossible to confess
It’s always someone else’s fault and never your own
You haven’t managed this pandemic preferring to blame the Eurozone
You don’t listen to reason, facts are just ignored
But you do listen to Cummings, Britains very own evil Sith Lord
You only had one aim and that was hard Brexit
Your getting your way leaving us deep in the shit
Because of your privileged upbringing you are entitled to rule
You lead by example, bluffing and acting the fool
You like all the trappings which goes with being the top man
Sadly hard work and emergency meetings is not part of your plan
So for the good of your country please take your leave
Go back to your mansion, don’t worry we won’t grieve
So I long for the day when you pack your bags and wish No10 a fond farewell
Go back to your lovely life, do nothing and watch your bank account swell.
Send this to him. Maybe he will really go on a leave.

Maybe he can invite the Orange Idjit to hang out with him… or better yet, they can both take off to Russia and hang out with the lead Stooge! That would be awesome for US & UK!🎸🎶💃🏼
You still suck at writing “terrible” poetry. It’s too good to be terrible🤷🏼♀️🤔💌

Wonderful!
Our lunatic in chief is said to be planning to “punish” China (or “Jina”, as he says it) for covid. Geee, that won’t backfire or anything. I’m sure there’s no way anything will ever originate in the US. Idiot!!
