I did Tony Blair once. Does he count? After all, he's still alive and lying. And then there's Broon. And I think one could confect a Michael Gove. There are more characters than you think. Of course Enoch Powell and Lord Hailsham actually WROTE poetry.
Here's Tone.
An Ode to the British People
I’m so sorry, oh so sorry, I’m so very, very sorry.
No-one else could feel the pain I do.
There’s no language I can borrow for the sharpness of my sorrow
For the sorry things I did to you.
Oh I wish I hadn’t done them. No I never should have done them,
But I did them and I can’t say more.
I deplore them and I rue them and I wish I could undo them
Which I think is what I said before.
You’re so caring, you’re so clever, if you ever, ever, ever
Could endeavour to forgive me, then
What a wonder would our life be, how harmonious and strife-free,
For I’ll never be as bad again!
Well of course, my little treasures, my remorse is beyond measure,
And I’m sorrier than I can say.
And, my ickle-pickle poppets, should you just contrive to drop it
I’ll be sorry till my dying day,
