I was perusing Pravda, the Russian newspaper, and came across this gem:
"Europe's major nation states are governed by men who are little more than clowns. Take Gordon Brown, for instance. Is it possible to find a more laughable figure than him? Heading a bankrupt, pauperized nation where all residual wealth is concentrated in and around London, Brown still has the gall to lecture the rest of the world on how to run an economy."
Now that sounds like a bloody good All Poetry prompt! So put your tea aside, all you blokies and blokettes. It's time to come to the defense of your Prime Minister!
Options:
1) Defend your PM, Gordon Brown, from this scurrilous attack.
2) Risk the censure of your mates by rhyming "Brown" with "clown."
3) Counter-attack with a poem about Vlad "the Poisoner" Putin.
4) Other - specify. Something to do with England and/or Russia.
Cheers!
p.s. Don't forget to check out the shocking dresses of Russian stars!

Brown
The man who said he'd put an end to Stop and Go 12 months
before the biggest Capitalist slump since 1931 and calls himself a Socialist..... George -
May I respectfully point out that Gordon Brown is NOT English?

I know. He's Scottish.
