Boris and Carrier Pigeons

Boris and Carrier Pigeons

 

I like my poetry educational

Keeping WOLers on the ball

But looks like I'm a bit behind this time

Cos Boris PM you now know all

 

Down here I'm just so jolly isolated

With carrier pigeon my only news route

Like now, they've just flown in and told me

That Boris will Brexit you out

 

One little pigeon, he carried

A strange cryptic note (was not big)

I don't have a clue to it's meaning

“Write poem 'bout Boris and pig”

 

??

 

We breed our little pigeons real tough here

To power through drenching rain and through drought

They're much more reliable than emails

Useless when power grid goes out

 

Boris he faces two challenges

Stay friendly with Europe (but gone)

And set up a self-governed UK

And all by October three one

Pigeon's flight is symbolic here. Enchanting poetry. Thanks for sharing.

DoRoThY why thankyou
Traffic lighting my
Little carrier pigeons
Wherever they do fly

You've given me three verses
I will to you respond
In like Australian manner
Cos my name is Don

(And we are nice courtious people down here...?)

Unfortunately my pigeons
None of them are blue
They track to UK and et al
And over seas to you

You did well with a 3-verser ?
