Our Arse-Faced Ancestor

Our ancestor lived in the sea/
Around half a billion BC/
Its one single hole/
Performed a dual role/
A pain in the arse, you’ll agree.///

French Toast Hamon

Posted on January 30, 2017 by twitmericks

Monsieur Benoit Hamon of France/

Is leading the left-wing advance/

To run for the Elysée;/

Pundits on telly say*/

Hamon does not stand a chance.//

French Toast with Ham On

*My Francophone daughter suggests ‘Pundits on TV say’, which rhymes better with the last two syllables of Elysée, as the stress is on the middle syllable. But I still quite like the three syllable rhyme of ‘telly say’, even if you do have to mis-stress the word a bit.

Monsieur Benoit Hamon of France
Is leading the left-wing advance
To run for the Elysée;
Pundits on telly say
Hamon does not stand a chance.

And He Would Ride 500 Miles…

Posted on January 27, 2017 by twitmericks

A cyclist began in Shandong/

A journey 1000 miles long/

Although with persistence/

He did half the distance,/

Alas, the direction was wrong.
