Political Funeral Blues

Hide all the clocks, and hide that mobile phone,
The Cabinet’s told Brown he’s on his own.
Prepare the padded cell; sedate the bum
And let the headshrinks in their white coats come.

  1. Frank Dobson says Purnell isn't a very significant figure and it isn't a significant cat.

    No doubt the "he wants to spend more time with his family- media pressure- other commitments" will be doing the rounds tomorrow.

    I'll give Nulab one thing, 24 hours licensing!

    I'm off to Tesco for a bottle of Moet!

  7. Excellent and well observed, as ever. This was the modest Tuscan follow-up Clerihew to yours, on Guido:

    The cabinet for James Purnell
    Had become a living hell
    The PM, (self-appointing)
    Will need physically disjointing.
