Thoughts on the leadership of this country that it can be said with absolute confidence would be likewise true of anywhere in the world. My thanks to Tom Jeffs for use of the header image (alt text; Larry the Cat sits outside the door of Number 10 Downing Street).

This country won’t
Have a decent Number One
Someone both
Up and out standing
A person fair handed
While likewise minded
A leader loved
By one and all
Whether here
Or aboard
A governor known
For the greatest of grace
No matter what
They have to face
A visionary with answers
For every challenge
Be it massive or small
Minute or tall
No
This country won’t
Have someone
Of such great integrity
Magnanimity
And ingenuity
Until the person in charge
Is me
