Judah’s Limerick
Can you see Boris de Preffel Johnson of great Brexit fame
with drizzle starting begin to look ever so lame
disheveled hair showing a rather bald pate
Prince Charles smiling and looking very straight
wondered how this clumsy bloke could a nation tame !!

Twitter Can’t Stop Watching Boris Johnson Struggle With Umbrella At Memorial Service
(July 28, 2021)
You can be one of the most powerful people in the world, but when you are having a bad day, there is not much you can do. And if you are a public figure chances are that your struggles are for the world to see, especially in this age of social media. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson found himself in such a spot recently, he was caught in a tricky situation with an umbrella that just refused to cooperate with the leader. Mr Johnson was at a memorial service for police officers when he found himself in this slightly weird and embarrassing predicament.
The clip, shared by Sky News, shows Mr Johnson struggling to control the errant umbrella, albeit to not much avail. The umbrella first refuses to open and when it does, it turns upside down much to the amusement of Prince Charles and the other officials who were seated next to Mr Johnson. Even Mr Johnson is seen breaking into a laugh as he struggles with the umbrella.
Reacting to the video, several social media users could not help but break into laughter. One user noted, “Two days in a row now there’s been an issue with his umbrella,” asking if the government could buy him a new one.
