Swivel Partnership

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Hong Kong Hooey

There was an old man from Hong Kong
Who tended to speak thru his dong
Saying rapists abuse
Because women booze
A comment demonstrably wrong.

Star Man

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.
