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.

Good write Gold. lol.
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.
Thank you Fay, yes the poetry group did laugh.

Here, there and everywhere these politicians blowing hot air have contributed to climate change! A fun read indeed.
So true Rozina, thank you.
Andy
Ohhh
That’s hilarious
A good play with words dear Andy
So kind spilleronsheet, thank you.
Andy
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!
Thank you Mek, I agrre.
Andy
I'm amazed an MP came out of hiding to talk drivel. You gotta love Boris though, hot air incorporated.
Thank you Paul, yes he is hot air incorporated.
Andy
