I often wonder why
Donny T's tie is so
long. If it is meant to
be a ******* symbol
then why put a knot
on it, especially the
Windsor one at that.

It is never tucked in
like Boris Johnson's
shirt which looks like
a French flag at times
of capitulation when
white chevrons are cut
with a swiss army knives.

But the tie is red like
the rag used to annoy
bulls by El Cordobes
who was never gored
sufficiently to render
him superfluous as a
murderous matador.

I often wonder if in
fact, Donny T's tie has
an elastic band around
the neck as school boys
wore with permanent
knots because like shoe
laces, he can't tie them!
