Swanning Around

It’s actually faintly satisfying,
Watching Johnson squirm,

—A man who’s made his entire living,
Through scrupulously bullshitting;

Forced to stand there,
Under bright lights,
Not an ounce of intellectual backbone,

Thank god he’s not actually running the show,
He doesn’t even understand the words.

“What is Swanning Around?
Swanning around and swanning about mean to move about aimlessly, irresponsibly and in a carefree manner.
…
Today’s meaning of the term swanning about has its origins in World War II, interestingly. At that time, swanning around and swanning about described the movements of tanks in battle, in seemingly aimless maneuvers”
