Why I Go To Bed Early

I used to watch the news

But the sight of Trump

Overexposure!

Gets my goat

Brings a lump

To my throat

So now I don’t.

I was wont

To watch shows about trains

In India, Africa or Europe

On the BBC

But I can’t cope

With the stress and strain

Whenever I see

That queer fellow

Michael Portillo Presenter of Railway Programs

Michael Portillo

(Thatcher’s war minister)

Who makes my eyes blister
