Blonde Ambition

An acrostic poem in support for Boris Johnson’s bid to become Mayor of London in which the first letters of each line spell BORIS FOR MAYOR.

Beat the drums of triumph for the coming reign of Boris,

Oxford after Eton, hence articulate as Horace.

Resplendent on his bicycle with mop of blonde hair flying

In wild, defiant rebelliousness, congestion-charge defying;

Some dub him dilly-dallier but Boris takes the knocks.

Filibustering? Maybe, but he’ll fill the ballot box.

Oblivious to censure he’ll reward his Boris-backers

Refreshing them with policies they’ll find superbly crackers.

Mark my words: this blundering buffoon is no one’s fool.

Ask Henley and they’ll tell you he’s the bounder born to rule.

Young and old adore him as the nation’s best bar none.

Oppressed? Have I got news for you! Ken’s dismal days are done.

Rejoice and vote for Boris! The election’s all but won.
