An Incomplete List of Things More Capable of Running the Country than the Current Government

An Incomplete List of Things More Capable of Running the Country than the Current Government 

by Brian Bilston

A bollard. A thimble. A beef gravy granule. 

A bilge pump. A plectrum. A Pokemon annual. 

A doorknob. A chaffinch. An old rusty kettle. 

A footbath. A clothes peg. A wine stain. A pebble. 

A ceramic spoon holder. A fruit polo mint. 

A discarded tissue. A puddle. Some lint. 

A used toner cartridge. Some musical socks. 

A build up of silt. A stuffed startled fox. 

A plimsoll. A wingnut. A set of false teeth. 

A novelty wall clock with the face of Prue Leith. 

A beetle. A drumlin. A short piece of string. 

A packet of Wotsits. A plant pot. Most things.
