Ouch, that really did hurt.
And I'm American.
The last one didn't even have time to unpack.
Number 10 Downing Street
Synonymous with
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
What went wrong this time?
Come on guys!
We expect at least a four year stay on our side.
Maybe eight if they are good.
But you guys pull the plug.
At any old time.
It is hard to keep up with the various ways.
In which you install you PM's.
Churchill outlasted everyone else
Except the Queen herself.
We liked Boris
And hardly got to know Mae
But Truss we had a special bond
She was our Queens funeral
She will always have that place
Of being the last to see her Majesty
Before she picked up her feet
And died peacefully in her sleep.
It was she her brought us the announcement
Who lead the rest of the Important people
Through their paces for the funeral
The pomp and circumstance
That will never be seen again
Even if Charles should stumble
He has not had enough time
To warm the hearts and wallets
To be given that type of reception
There she is for us to see
The woman who beat Boris
The modern Churchill
And there she goes
Like the wind
Without completing her mandate
Perhaps those busses were a bad idea
I mean watching the ailing
Former King Carlos
Descend a bus with his cane
And all the others trooping
Out like Sunday school children
Compared to the President
Who made sure he got the respect
Of his own country
At least,
The guys no fool
This is his second time around
Watching over his President
As VP in the wings
Eight years there and here
Another four at least
Whew too much
Passion these guys
Out with the old
And in with the new
Whom will be next
This revolving door
Of the British Prime minister
May as well list it on Airbnb
They did that to my old place
Been in the family for three hundred years
My own for over 100
And still, we can't keep squatters
From showing up
And letting others inside
Now there is nothing to look at
The West coast homesteads
With nothing to show
They even took up the floors
And what happened to the vineyard
And the horses and boats?
It was a working ranch
And us grandchildren
Were shown how to be wise
In learning the business
A fruit packing one actually
They grew west coast fruits
That were then shipped
Across America
And to Europe as well
The old fishing village north
Just had dried smoked fish
And those little egg caviar things
What do you expect from the new world?
Fine silks and teas?
Be quick on the new residents
Before the squatters take over
And destroy every memory
And every building
By renting it out to strangers
And they without a bill of sale
Nor insurance
Just got hit by a hurricane
Square on Ensenada
And I can't even get there
To inspect the old family plot
Because of bureaucracy and politics
Just because we did win the war with Mexico
A century ago, and were allowed to believe
The place was ours to keep forever
Oh well, maybe Truss will take home
A few souvenirs
Such as monogrammed
Towels or something!
