A peer judging conduct has quit,/

Apparently no longer fit,/

As tabloid reports/

Showed film where he snorts/

Some coke off a prostitute’s tit.///

A planet that NASA can see/
That’s called Kepler 452b/
Is quite like the Earth/
Though larger in girth/
And may be the home of ET.

There once was a princess so cute,/

Well-mannered, of spotless repute./

But now we see pix/

Of Lizzie aged six,/

Performing a Nazi salute.///

Squiffy Squirrel

A squirrel got utterly smashed/
On ale from a boozer it crashed/
The rat-arsed intruder/
Got steadily ruder/
And left the establishment trashed.

And crashed due to preoccupation/
While using a toy/
She liked to employ/
For sexual gratification.

The head of a fearsome cartel/
Has bidden his prison farewell/
Associates tunneled/
As money was funneled/
To those keeping watch on his cell.
