An Ode to Nigel

An Ode To Nigel from The Topical Poet on Vimeo.

At the UKIP Conference
Nige is saying au revoir
Diane James is the new leader,
this photo’s quite bizarre.
As Nigel went to hug her,
Diane pulled a face.
and when he went in for the kiss,
she moved away with haste.
Was it halitosis from
from all those cigarettes?
Or maybe body odour,
Nige is known to sweat.
But bad breath or smelly armpits
isn’t why she ran.
even for another Ukipper,
he’s an odious little man.
