Pandemonium by Armando Iannucci
Tell, Mighty Wit, how the highest in forethought and, That tremendous plus, The Science, Saw off our panic and Globed vexation Until a drape of calmness furled around the earth And beckoned a new and greater normal into each life For which we give plenty gratitude and pay Willingly for the vict'ry triumph Merited by these wisest gods. Pandemonium is an epic mock-heroic poem, written in response to the pandemic with all the anger and wit that Armando Iannucci brings to his vision of contemporary events. It tells the story of how Orbis Rex, Young Matt and his Circle of Friends, Queen Dido and the blind Dom'nic did battle with 'a wet and withered bat' from Wuhan.
I think he's brilliant, very funnyHis is exactly the sort of hilarious yet civilising brain that does the world good. Whatever he says on Twitter, I always think: 'This is wisdom.'" -- David Mitchell
It's a really funny poem...Jonathan Swift would approve -- Samira Ahmed, BBC Front Row
