№ 645: Ever More Boris

LITTLE BRITAIN (July 23)

How long do you think it will be
before Boris knows it’s not 1903,
that the sun’s long since set
on the old Empire,
that with him “in command”
the U.K could expire?

Before he ships convicts out to Australia?
Renews border conflict with Venezuela?
Before his hired Hessians extinguish rebellion?
Before he rebuilds the navy and makes it swell again?

When he meets with the Queen in his phantasmagoria
will he realize Her Majesty is not Victoria?

Johnson’s premiership came slow and can’t last
because the future is never the past.
