Johnson Stuck in Zip

There was an exuberant mayor/ Well-built, with a mop of blond hair/ Who ran out of luck/ When a zip wire got stuck/ And left him to dangle mid-air. //// http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/aug/01/boris-johnson-zip-wire?newsfeed=true

There was an old fellow named Gore/ Who wrote books and plays by the score/ Acerbic, sarcastic/ And iconoclastic/ A gadfly, but never a bore. /// http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19074231
