Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down

Whence one hath wobbled, is it not thenceforth a foregone conclusion that one shall, before a fortnight hath passed, fall down on one's rear end?”
~
Oscar Wilde

ORDER! ORDER!

Mr Speaker Michael Martin MP you must not resign today!
NO! NO! NO! In the name of art you must stay.


TF has been up most of the night (with a dodgy tummy) writing political poetry in your honour. I've written a fabulous poem entitled "Swindling Swags" and you MM are playing the leading role "softly-spoken stuttering Scottish scapegoat Speaker says sorry".

For if you go I shall now have to re-write the end of this epic poem

"Will widespread witch hunt wobble Westminster? "


For last night I truly believed that "Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down ;-) Please do not prove me wrong. Alas, I've that sinking feeling ..... Man over board.




"Bright bobbling blue boat brings back Betty Boothroyd ...."
ORDER! ORDER!

I loved my weebles. I can't begin to comment on the expenses fiasco, I sound like a Daily Mail reader and I fear that's not good for me.

TOM FOOLERY said...

Auntiegwen, me reckons you should stand along with me for Parliament as an Idependent(woman) ;-) TFx

Shirley Wells said...

Weebles were utterly gorgeous. I loved them.

Hope the tummy is much improved.

Sorry but I'm living proof that something weeble shaped can fall down!!!

Feel better soon xx

TOM FOOLERY said...

Shirley, the tummy has been all of a wobble most of the day :O

Claire, she had a strong safe pair of hands methinks :)

Lane said...

TOM FOOLERY said...

I had a girlfriend once that I used to call Weeble. She wasn't much good with money either. She resigned from being my girlfriend for some reason.

TOM FOOLERY said...

Nota Bene, I'm no Agony Aunt here but just maybe she didn't like the name Weeble!. I'll let you into a wee secret here most (but not all) woman are CRAP when it comes to money ;-) TFx

Hope you're feeling better now TF.

This is so just not a good time to be managing Democratic Services in a local Council!!! We're getting loads of phone calls about councillors' expenses too.

The papers keep going on about how this is going to wobble both national and local democracy.

(By the way the MP who has claimed the least amount in expenses is a really nice bloke - and also one of my councillors!)

Karen said...

Uh-oh - think it might be too late, thus proving that some Weebles do indeed fall down :o(

Tommo for Prime Minister!!

SarahA said...

Peppermint tea that's what you need. Really! It is great for settling dodgy tummies.
Be well, you.

'Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down'

I remember singing such to my Daughter, when she was a little one. Ha! I feel old!

SarahA said...

BTW thank you for your kind words you left at my place.

TOM FOOLERY said...

Annie, Feeling almost normal today ;-) I'm relying on you to keep them on their toes. I wonder if others are shaking in their boots?

Clarkey, Tommo for PM does have a certain ring to it methinks ;-)

Sarah,Thanks I might just invest in some. Your poetry is very good, should be published :)
