Not all there




Not all there

He’s one ride short of Alton Towers
A daffodil gone from a bunch of flowers
A Marvel film lacking superpowers
A banana pulled from a bunch
He’s an angel short of a biker gang
A Nosferatu missing a fang
A Spanish guitar without a twang
A snack gone from a packed lunch

He’s a custom short of border control
A non-event around a black hole
A decathlon without a vaulting pole
A foxhound short of a hunt
He’s a troll away from a Twitter ban
A bristle short of a Desperate Dan
A cornet gone from an ice cream van
He’s one bet short of a punt

He’s a Morris short of a dance in May
A soliloquy gone from a Shakespeare play
A town crier with nothing to say
A pupil missing in class
He’s a nurse and a doctor short of a ward
A fencing tourney without a sword
A top director gone from the board
He’s one joke short of a farce

He’s a grain short of a sandy beach
He’s James Henry Trotter without a peach
A Watergate short of a Trump impeach
He’s an orange without a peel
He’s an angry voice in a calm debate
A member short of an EU state
A cake stall missing from a village fete
He’s a compromise short of a deal

He’s one letter short of an alphabet
A Pankhurst film without a Suffragette
He’s Wessex missing Somerset
He’s a parish minus a priest
He’s a blade of grass cut from a field
In a specialist workforce he’s unskilled
He’s a wish on a death- bed unfulfilled
He’s a morsel short of a feast
