Day 29 

Off prompt - an ode to Boris and Bo Jo Jr

All babies when they're born look like Churchill-
portly, imperious and bland
So it was, for our glorious leader
at the launch of his new baby brand


They said, "it's a boy", (call him Junior),
paparazzi were jostling  for snaps
Could the people be distracted from troubles,
just enough to stop griping and clap?


Though it wasn't first go as a father,
(he'd done it before- once, twice, six?)
he knew that this time was the charmed one,
that goodwill's a way out of a fix.

So while we wait for protection,
for testing and targets and masks, 
Let's praise this convenient miracle
for our great nation's deadbeatest dad
