Art Attack

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”

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

Park Life

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

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

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