Ooh, Allegra Stratton—damn my Spectator
subscription—you’ve just been re-distributed
by No 10—you’re no longer gonna
be first lady of the blue room presser—tidying up
the PM’s ‘ums’ and ‘aahs’…and those cute
page stickies stuck inside your power file
are now just a colourful accessory
signifying nothing…
Shame that poison chalice slipped betwixt
cup and lip–your bespokes for a clown
prenatally muted—wow!
Would it be impertinent for me to say
the wave of schadenfreude currently
oozing from your journo ex-buddies
is Andante con molto in key
of C sharp?
