Storming Performance

As SuRie got up to perform,/

So multiple sources inform,/

A man in a rage/

Appearing onstage/

Obeyed her instruction to Storm.///

Admits things aren’t going to plan – /
We’re chasing, he feels,/
The worst of all deals;/
The shit is now hitting the fan.///

Flower Show

It’s World Naked Gardening Day/

So cast inhibition away/

And get out your hoses/

To water the roses/

Or ready your bush for display.///

(A hardy perennial – I sowed the seeds of something similar last year, but I’ve been titivating it a bit for this year’s show).

Public Enemy Number Two

A Jersey inspector of schools/
Arrested for flouting the rules/
Was baring his backside/
Each day by the trackside/
And slyly depositing stools.///

There was an old medical doc/
Who swore Donald Trump was a rock,/
And couldn’t be better,/
But now says his letter/
Was written by Trump – what a shock!///

Gas Power Stance

Sajid made a stand from the start/
With legs that were splayed wide apart,/
The power position/
A top politician/
Adopts when he’s bracing to fart.///

Bum Note

The Sainsbury’s chief was caught singing/

How merger has set the tills ringing,/

But “We’re in the Money”/

May not seem so funny/

If job cuts are what the deal’s bringing.///
