Twas the night before Christmas And all through the house Not a creature was stirring Not even a mouse However, outside That wasn't the case Father Boris was waiting A mask on his face. He ripped down the wreath And he smashed down the door He shredded the presents And spat on the floor. He smashed all the mirrors And ripped up the bed He rifled the drawers Then he finally said; "You oiks are so foolish Mistaken and daft You think I'm a haircut, A smirk and a laugh I'll show you all now What i really feel I'll happily destroy you For a Brexit No Deal" He butted the tree With his rumpled white head He muttered in Latin Then smiled as he said; "You give me your votes- everyone I could take You never considered the chaos I'd make With my cuts and capers My japes and my punning And now heres my Elf Little Dominic Cummings" Rudolf and Blitzen stood there in silence The brutalised victims of political violence They knew it was time to take to the skies But Boris was PM and they feared for their lives. Twas the night before Xmas And all over the house Not a creature was working Not even a mouse. Alistair Cowan
