That Bullingdon toff, “Call me Dave”
when he lost, buggered off with a wave
leaving nice Mrs May
to dream up a way
what (from Dave’s Eton mess) she could save!
 
Does
contemptable, lying, egotistical, gutless git
count as an acrostic?

Bill, Oonah, and Joanie
Glad you liked them - never sure about political comment as I never seem to be in the same corner as everyone else in the group 😀

A wry funny limerick, with a sharp jab or irony, great stuff :)

I take it that 'contemptible, lying, egotistical, gutless git' is an acrostic for Nick Clegg, Dave's second-in-command as it were.  He's now Sir Nick Clegg.
