Aahha! 

The great baboon himself

Smiling 

Beguiling

Rule defying 

 

Such pomposity 

Within oneself 

No cheese or wine

Left on the shelf

 

But, I'm sure he'll eat

His gorgeous self

And raise a toast

To his best of health!

 

And all the chimps

Who flung votes his way

To steer clear of 

The redundancy highway

 

Think he's the one

The top banana!

The king of the swingers

A real charmer!

 

But we all know 

He's just a nob

A brainless chimp

With a lying gob

I speak as one who’s been taken in by this nob
Now I wonder, how long can he hang on to his job!
Good one Stephen!

Thank you Keith, I'm not sure where the illustration is from. I probably just came across it on t'internet & screenshot it. I really should take note of who they are by, to give credit where it's due!

Stephan this is really good. I loved every word. Is the illustration one of Banksy's works? The final stanza sums up the truth.
Thank you for this

This should be written on his bus when he goes on the hustings!

The last verse nails it, Stephen, and quite possibly him. An excoriating poem, right on the mark!
