teeter / totter tipple/ tip

Stalin&nbsp&nbspPutin letting slip
those&nbsp&nbspsnarling dogs
narrowed eyes&nbsp&nbsp&nbspnon-human
monstrous&nbsp&nbspgods
towers of&nbsp&nbspcontrol
houses of&nbsp&nbspunreliable cards
freefall&nbsp&nbspclay-footed

Boris&nbsp&nbspslides&nbsp&nbspout
doors revolve&nbsp&nbsp&nbspearth&nbsp&nbspquakes
media craft & carve images
wield myths sliding
towards/ away from&nbsp&nbspthe slippy
up/down&nbsp&nbsppole of power
greasing&nbsp&nbsp&nbsppalms
cracking&nbsp&nbsppainted heads

Humpty to blame
sitting pretty
no egg on his face
daring&nbsp&nbspchallenging all/
those horses and the Queen
She is dead&nbsp&nbsp&nbsplong live
the&nbsp&nbspstrutting&nbsp&nbspking's men
dumpy zealots dancing
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspround handbags&nbsp&nbspand
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsptattered gladrags
