Police are at pains to advise/
Gun-toting Floridian guys/
Keep shooting the breeze/
But gentlemen please/
To fire at a storm is unwise.///

A chap of Conservative stripe/
Said hurricane warnings were hype,/
But as things got torrider/
He Rushed out of Florida,/
The climate-denying asswipe.///
The laureate Aung San Suu Kyi/
Who wanted Myanmar to be free/
Now watches in silence/
As state-sponsored violence/
Compels the Rohingya to flee.///
A girl pulled a sword from a pool/
And so must be destined to rule/
But seven-year-old/
Matilda the Bold/
For now has to go back to school.///

A woman pursuing a poo/
She just couldn’t flush down the loo/
While out on a Tinder/
Got stuck in the winder/
Till freed by a firefighting crew.///
A python in Southend-on-Sea/
Surprised a boy going to pee/
But luckily Reggie,/
Although not a veggie,/
Prefers baby rats for his tea.///

An Everton striker named Wayne/
When asked by his wife to explain/
Said when I am drinking/
My organ for thinking/
Regrettably isn’t the brain.///
A fellow named Kim in Pyongyang/
Created a very big bang/
With stuff that is fissile*/
To put on a missile/
And said “See the size of my whang!”///
*I am indebted to @Souris_Verte for pointing out that if, as North Korea claims, the bomb tested was an H-bomb, it uses fusion, not fission. So I must fall back on the fact that experts have doubted this claim (and, of course, poetic licence). https://twitter.com/Souris_Verte/status/904397630595371010
The UK Prime Minister May/
Announced her intention to stay/
But Tory MP’s’re/
Advising Theresa/
She might have to call it a day.///
Some seeking political power/
Want favourite projects to flower,/
Like one politician/
Whose lofty ambition/
Is building a Moscow Trump Tower.///
