Why verse?
|
The reason why I versify, instead of writing prose:
I find a sense of rhythm in the tapping of the toes
It’s clear that once it’s started, the line can’t be too long,
Too short, and if repeated, you end up with a song.
Happy Birthday to you ; happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Boris: happy birthday to you
Heard today it’s someone’s birthday, who’s long the age of reason past
Ave! Ave; Boris Johnson, time to take the lead, at last
Term’s beginning, Boris Johnson, newly back from foreign parts
Eager to get down to business: Keen to win more voters’ hearts
Let us hope the Leader, Howard: does not lose time to move along
Then the Party can get serious: crown new king and sing his song.
Boris Johnson, people’s darling It’s time you made a forward move
Make a choice: The Speccie? Party? Either way; you’re in the groove.
It would be nice to see our Boris; once again with front bench seat.
Whichever post they deign to offer; take it: bide your time; that’s neat.
It won’t take long for class to glitter; truth will out; I’ve heard it said
You’ll convince a million doubters; turn last election on its head.

Many happy returns, Boris!
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
may the hand of a friend always be near you;
May the Gods fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

I wish you enough Londonish sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough virtual and real “Hello’s” to get you through the “Good-byes …

Boris’s Day
Happy Birthday Boris; may all the luck be thine
Enjoy today, thy family, thy presents and thy wine
Two days in one to celebrate, rolled up in package neat
It’s Father’s Day; your special day, a combo hard to beat.
It’s a good job you’re not Doris, that would be Tautological.

Murky: ” . . . his Birthday is shared with Aung Sang Suu Kyi who is 60 today . . .”
John Bercow made an excellent speech about Burma on 15 June. I hope other MPs (and indeed the government) will listen to his call for action. See:

Hello Boris, my love. Happy belated birthday. Thinking of you in my dreams .
My friends worry, but I can’t help the lust I feel for you. Hahahahahaa.
Hahahahahahaaa.
Nah, I’m kidding. You’re a very nice person though. Hello.
Wow I really hope you don’t actually go on your official site. Now THAT could be embarassing.

E Wenman, I was surprised to see that you are so free with your emotions. As freely as you scattter your compliments, I was pondering over whether you are a man or a woman?

Ah, was this in response to Angus’ response on the discussion over the Religious Hatred Bill? Well… I think I’ll just have to keep you all in suspense

Was the revered Melissa obliquely referring to ‘Wedlock and Weblog’ as being too close for comfort?

Indeed, a happy Birthday to Boris.
However, given that his Birthday is shared with Aung Sang Suu Kyi who is 60 today, I hope he won’t mind if I send the very best of my wishes elsewhere.
