The Fifty-Fifth Prime Minister has arrived in the form of Bojo
Full of fizz and brimming confidence, he wants to lift our mojo.
Brexit has gummed life up, creating confusion and disorder
Not least with the backstop question on the Northern Irish border.
The whole union’s under pressure with fresh clamours of independence from the Scots
And a bi-election in Wales that further entangles a government in ever tighter knots.

So who is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and what floats his boat?
Former Mayor of London, Foreign Secretary and journalist of some note.
Television personality, raconteur, author of a dozen books
But he divides opinion, to some a hero, to other’s he’s a crook.
He’s known to scrimp on detail in the hope that chutzpah will see him through
But he leaves a trail of flustered subordinates to pick up the pieces, to supply the glue.

Boris is compared most keenly to being like President Donald Trump
They’re both bombastic, both have wild hair, both a little plump.
Bravado is their signature and rabble rousing is their way
Not subtle nor collegiate, its “my way or the highway”.
Both born in New York, both pugnacious and both like to talk the talk
The next few weeks will show if Boris can actually also walk the walk.
