This just in from Clarence Spad, Life President, Young Railway Poets Society, Platform 5 Reading Station (the interesting end)
LINES WRITTEN ON THE APPOINTMENT OF PHIL HAMMOND MP AS SECRETARY OF STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT
So welcome in Phil
For a moment I thought Dave had made a mistake
And muddled you up with Stephen
Who was doing railways
Before you moved into Marsham Street
Perhaps Stephen will come and work with you
Which will be alright
But you may not want to cause any confusion
So Norman might get the job instead
I can't wait to see what you decide
When I get home for tea tonight
With ardent acknowledgments to my mentor EJ Thribb of Private Eye.
