Art Attack

Posted on June 18, 2013 by
There was an art buyer and seller
Who throttled his partner Nigella
Domestic abuse
Can have no excuse
So cops went and cautioned the fella.*
 
*Alternative ending if you prefer: “Although one drinks claret not Stella”

BBC star Stuart Hall/
Preyed upon girls who were small/
Just over a year/
In prison, I fear,/
Makes most people ask “Is that all?”

Park Life

Posted on June 16, 2013 by
There was an old Istanbul park/
Which lately provided the spark/
For public dissent/
Till riot cops went/
And cleared them all out after dark.

I ran Iran

Posted on June 15, 2013 by

Rouhani, who ran in Iran,
And not the Supreme Leader’s man
Has won the election
A change of direction
That wasn’t in Khamenei’s plan.

Busted

3 women who went & protested/
In Tunis were swiftly arrested/
Removing their tops/
Got heat from the cops/
And 4 months for going bare-breasted.

Taking the Michael

Posted on June 11, 2013 by
There was an old fellow named Gove,
A rather peculiar cove.
Requiring a wheeze
To change GCSEs
He did it by numbers, by Jove.
