Swivel Partnership

Posted on May 22, 2013 by
There was a PM who was harried
By those against gays being married.
MPs apt to swivel
Were mildly uncivil
But Cameron’s motion was carried.

Rotten Apple

Posted on May 21, 2013 by

There was a big firm making stacks/
From turning out iPods and Macs./
A Senate committee/
Said ain’t it a pity/
That Apple pays so little tax.

Exit Doors

Posted on May 21, 2013 by

There was an old fellow named Ray,/
A Doors man who knew how to play./
Come on Light My Fire,/
A tune to admire,/
Years on is still burning away.

Major Tim’s Minor Admission

Posted on May 20, 2013 by

An astronaut named Major Tim/
Informs us his vocals are grim/
This being the case/
When he’s out in space/
Expect no more Bowie from him.

Blue Loon

Posted on May 19, 2013 by

A Tory grandee who lampoons/

The members as swivel-eyed loons/

Is speaking the mind,/

I think you will find,/

Of various top Cameroons.

Farage Farrago

Posted on May 17, 2013 by

There once was a top UKIP chief/

Whose Scottish campaign came to grief/

Farage had to scrub/

His gig in a pub/

As coppers provided relief.

Bye Bye Beckham

A footballing giant named Becks/

Is trading his shorts for long kecks/

He exits the pitch/

Amazingly rich/

With no end in sight to the cheques.

Who tended to speak thru his dong
Saying rapists abuse
Because women booze
A comment demonstrably wrong.

Posted on May 14, 2013 by
There once was an old Bowie fan
In space in a real tin can
& so thinking “Sod It!”, he
Covered Space Oddity
Then fell to earth like The Man.
