I’ve brought together the first five days of my post-election limerick reports in one post – from votes to goats.
May Hem – Theresa Blows it
There once was a woman named May/
Who threw an election away/
She lost her majority/
And has no authority/
How long can she honestly stay?///
Stormin’ Corbyn – Jez He Could
An old Labour man with a beard/
Conservative media smeared/
Got more folks elected/
Than pollsters expected/
And some in his own party feared.///
Nuttall Scuttalled – UKIP Wipeout
Ex-leader of UKIP Paul Nuttall/
Whose campaign was not very suttall/
Has now had to quit/
Because he was shit/
As shown by the voters’ rebuttall.///
Clegg on His Face – Nick loses Sheffield Hallam
A Sheffield MP known as Nick/
Attracted a fair bit of stick/
And some aggravation/
For his Con-Dem nation/
And now he’s been given the flick.///
Over a Barrel of Foster’s – DUP Deal
The DUP chief Arlene Foster/
Will fill the Conservative roster/
With her ten MPs;/
Though happy to please,/
She’s told Mrs May it’ll cost ‘er.///
Adieux Aides – Fiona and Nick Nixed
Theresa’s adviser Fiona/
Has seen her boss swiftly disona/
With fellow aide Nick;/
May had to move quick/
To counteract moves to dethrona.///
Reshuffle Kerfuffle
In May’s underwhelming reshuffle/
She had to avoid a kerfuffle/
Unable to shunt/
Fox, Johnson or Hunt/
For fear of whose feathers she’d ruffle.///
Gove Will Tear Us Apart
Theresa May had to name Gove/
As Tory environment cove,/
Compelled to recycle/
Her enemy Michael/
Against whom she formerly strove.///
Paper-thin Excuse
The Queen’s Speech is being delayed/
As it is exclusively made/
With ink that has dried/
Upon a goat hide/
So scapegoats will have to be flayed.///
