Today’s poem is called ‘An Outbreak of Matt Hancocks’.
@brianbilston A literary masterpiece 👌
@brianbilston Have you considered offering them money to leave?
@arnfinnp There’s a least fifty of them now. It’s going to cost me a fortune.

@brianbilston

'overwhelmed by underwhelming men'.
When a few words perfectly pinpoint our current political malaise.

@brianbilston thank you, absolutely wonderful

@brianbilston

“my life is being overwhelmed by underwhelming men”

👌

@brianbilston great poem about a very underwhelming man
@brianbilston At least one of them is Mat Hancock. Is he also as underwhelming as all the Matt Hancocks?
@AhmadShuja Hard to tell them all apart at the moment.
@brianbilston overwhelmed by underwhelming men
👌👌
@brianbilston
Read this and immediately got the rhythm of The Second Summer of Love by Danny Wilson. Don't ask me why 🤔
@robertwebbgbr I have a vague memory of that song.
@brianbilston brilliant. Made my morning

@brianbilston

Today's poem is a cracker, Brian!

Had me simultaneously laughing and nodding my head along in agreement with you at every line!

@brianbilston I LOVE this and I consider myself to be abit of a metrophobe 😄

(metrophobia-a fear of poetry. I have a flair for the dramatics haha)

@LumpySpaceEllie Thanks very much. Glad it managed to squeeze past your metrophobic tendencies.
@brianbilston love your poetry Brian, really sharp. Keep posting X
@brianbilston that's unnerving. Husband said this morning, he could hear rustling and feared we have mice. We don't, we have Matts, don't we? 😱. I'd much prefer mice, TBH.
@MotherChristmas Ha ha! Yes, I’d take the mice any day.
@brianbilston Thank you - that has really cheered me up!😂
@brianbilston Strong 'Gubba lookalikes' vibes. I feel your pain.

@brianbilston Brian's here! *honk honk*

I feel like we've all narrowly escaped an office fire, or somesuch, and we're regrouping in the car park.

Great poem as usual btw. Also worth noting that your poems have got my eldest son into reading again, so thank you for that.

@hangableautobulb That’s great to hear, Derek. Yes, not quite sure what the etiquette is here at the moment but sure we will learn quickly.
@brianbilston so pleased you are here! A world with Bilston is a better world.
@MrManyDeaths Thank you, Neil. Nice to find you here, too!
@brianbilston LOVE IT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@brianbilston Two different HMHB references in one?
@brianbilston This is genius! Thanks for sharing! 👏

@brianbilston Love it!

I wanted to say that this needs a second version, for Scott Morrisson. Except that Scott Morrisson put himself everywhere secretly, so you'd be stroking ScoMo Cat without realising it was ScoMo Cat ... 

@brianbilston One of your finest, Brian, that certainly deserved the re-airing. Seems spookily prophetic this time round!
@brianbilston brilliant. He s SO underwhelming. But I reckon he thinks he's really cool and witty
@desertedbeach Yes, he really does think that.
@brianbilston I feel your pain. Can you call the council?
@Morri_Arty They won’t touch them. :-(
@brianbilston That's terrible. They must be a bit like cockroaches - virtually indestructible.
@brianbilston love much needed laugh out loud on a Sunday morning!
