Poem 397 – Alliterative Allies, Tricky Traitors

Leon, like, I literally love,
But loopy Linda what a laugh!

Lisa left her liturgy, whilst
Shameful Charlotte shifts her tongue.

Manipulating Minah makes her move
But fearful Freddie finds the answer.

Francesca chooses to chew things over
But artfully, Alex avoids attention.

As Alexander articulates
Leanne angrily argues back.

Jubilantly Jake announces, ‘I knew it!’
but Anna never knows it’s coming…

Will feuding faithfuls find the faithless
or treacherous traitors survive in triumph?

The opening admiration of Leon was uttered by one of the contestants on The Traitors last night (15.01.25). It’s alliteration immediately caught my attention, I knew it had to become a poem…
