In Surrey's land of green and fair,
Lived Crispin Blunt, a minister with flair,
He served with pride, a justice to claim,
But trouble came, and his name was in the frame.
In October 2023, he was taken away,
By Surrey Police, on a most serious day,
For rape allegations, a charge so bold,
But now it's said, no further action to hold.
A man in his 60s, with a story to tell,
Was investigated, but the evidence fell,
Insufficient to proceed, a verdict so cold,
No further action, his future to mold.
He'd served as a minister, with a heart so bright,
From 2010 to 2012, in the morning light,
He'd chaired the Foreign Affairs Committee too,
A role of great honor, but now what to do?
He'd apologized in 2022, for a mistake so grand,
Defending Imran Ahmad Khan, with a helping hand,
The Tory whip was withdrawn, a consequence so dire,
He stood as an independent, with a heart on fire.
He didn't contest the 2024 election, a choice so wise,
A decision made, with a heart full of compromise,
He'd cooperated fully, with the investigation so fine,
But now it's said, no further action, a verdict so divine.
