A Map for Boris Johnson’s Supporters

001 “Just the place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried,
002  As he landed his crew with care;
003 Supporting each man on the top of the tide
004  By a finger entwined in his hair.

005 “Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
006  That alone should encourage the crew.
007 Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
008  What I tell you three times is true.”

093 He had bought [from Cummings] a large map representing the sea,
094  Without the least vestige of land:
095 And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
096  A map they could all understand.

097 “What’s the good of Mercator’s North Poles and Equators,
098  Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?”
099 So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply
100  “They are merely conventional signs!

101 “Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
102  But we’ve got our brave Captain to thank:
103 (So the crew would protest) “that he’s bought us the best—
104  A perfect and absolute blank!”

105 This was charming, no doubt; but they shortly found out
106  That the Captain they trusted so well
107 Had only one notion for crossing the ocean,
108  And that was to tingle his bell.

109 He was thoughtful and grave—but the orders he gave
110  Were enough to bewilder a crew.
111 When he cried “Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!”
112  What on earth was the helmsman to do?

113 Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
114  A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
115 That frequently happens in tropical climes,
116  When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.”

117 But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,
118  And the Bellman, perplexed and distressed,
119 Said he had hoped, at least, when the wind blew due East,
120  That the ship would not travel due West!
