Hot Air.

Goldfinch60



I sat in the marquee listening,

Listening to the member of parliament

Standing on the stage,

Drivelling on about nothing of interest.

On and on he went,

Looking around I saw all were bored.

But then it happened

We all became disturbed

As the marquee started to move.

We did not understand it,

But then I looked out

And saw we were being lifted,

Lifted from the ground.

The idiot on the stage

Had vented so much hot air

That the marquee was sailing,

Sailing up into the sky.

No wonder the Houses of Parliament

Was built with such heavy bricks,

To keep it on the ground

With all that hot air

Being vented by those parliamentarians.

  • Fay Slimm.

    Ha ha - - a ride through the clouds the result of hot air - your words must have raised a few smiles at your poetry group Andy with that chance to expose what a whole lot of nothing a politician can talk - - well done my friend.

      Here, there and everywhere these politicians blowing hot air have contributed to climate change! A fun read indeed.

          your write, mirrored the frustration
          in the scribble I posted today;
          just pure 'hot air'
          they spew, endlessly
          to poison our minds
          till we're oppressed
          by the sheer fog, of their
          cunningly: self-defeating
          utter, Insanity!
          (doing the same thing
          time n again
          while expecting a different
          Result
          was Einstein's gauge
          for Idiocy
          bordering on madness...)
          I tend to agree, wholeheartedly!

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Mek, I agrre.

            I'm amazed an MP came out of hiding to talk drivel. You gotta love Boris though, hot air incorporated.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Paul, yes he is hot air incorporated.
