O we all await with baited breath,
The entrance of the pantomime horse,
On tonight's coronavirus briefing!
Who will be at the front and who will be
At the rear? Will it be bonkers BoJo
Heading, with creepy Dom Cummings at
The back, or perhaps mad Matt Hancock;
Accompanied by cracked Chris Witty:
The witless wonder? Whoever gets
Picked out of the blue Tory hat, it's bound
To raise a few chuckles, and perhaps
A smattering of belly laughs, across
Our cynical, beleaguered nation;
That's simply now had more than enough!
To be completely frank, I wonder
If this mock horse will be able to
Walk straight given the type of nincompoops
That will be inside it; 'controlling' things.

Dominic another biting satire indeed and the use of the word nincompoops is the wisest and cruellest word to describe the both of them. I must admit I do enjoy wisdom and delicious cruelty in a satire.10++. And added to my biting satire vault of nincompoops. Thanks again and take care.
Thanks Shaun..in the end us bored and bewildered viewers of the BBC's coronavirus briefings were treated to a comedic masterclass courtesy of BoJo and Chris Whitty...surely a top billing in Billy Smart's circus is guaranteed for these two notorious nincompoops...such a quaint but great word...sounds exactly like what it means!
