Leaders are important
They lay the markers down
Like good parents with their children
When to smile or frown
They give us inspiration
They walk the road before
They stand for certain principles
Or else are shown the door
Solskjaer comes to sunset
Done the best he can
Brought the feel good factor
But not tomorrow’s man
Conte bans the ketchup
Spurs on healthy diet
Trying to play catch up
Conte won’t be quiet
Boris leads our country
Smiling cheerful chap
Bonhomie and bluster
Still avoids the rap
UK still uncertain
Hasn’t found a role
Hasn’t got identity
Not yet found its soul
In Scotland we have Nicola
Now there’s a bonny lass
Honest to goodness down to earth
Never sells the pass
Alba on the rise again
Please God Ireland too
But England beloved England
A fine how do you do!
