A Flying Start - 14th January 2022
Twas Freya’s Day, a beautiful fair day,
Cool breeze balanced scorching heat.
2022 was well on its way,
News junkies looked forward to a treat.
Many broke the rules, failing to understand,
That the times did not kindly suffer fools.
Lawyers pursued Duke Drew,
Win, lose, or draw, he was done.
Titles receded and withdrew,
Sun setting upon errant son.
Antonio, world Tennis Ace,
Aced not his visa application.
Bureaucracy evenly matched against grace,
Leaving Scomo with an unhappy situation.
The Stars and Stripes Tribe watched,
As the shipping crisis dragged intractably on.
Transport, their Transport Secretary, had botched,
Empty shelves showed the crisis was still on.
Inflation’s existence, denied by Democrats,
Recognised by Republicans and everyone else,
Battered the Chieftain’s polling stats,
Act he must, before the Red Wave swept away all else.
Boris, Son of John, a garden party attended,
Before ending the Union Jack Tribe’s lockdown.
This crime his Loyal Opposition duly apprehended,
Even his loyal backbenchers were seen to frown.
“Blazing cones!” Cone Man exclaimed.
“2022 is off to a flying start …”
