Officials in Britain allege/
It’s weather, not Brexit, and pledge/
No shortage of food,/
But others conclude/
We’ve hit the thin end of the veg.///

I’ll be darned!

Posted on February 20, 2023 by twitmericks

Some Romans carved out of a block
A wooden thing shaped like a cock;
Researchers conclude
The phallus they hewed
Was not used for darning a sock.

Bard fluffs its lines

Posted on February 9, 2023 by twitmericks

When Google unveiled its new Bard,
The debut was fatally marred:
It flunked, in the promo –
Rushed through amid FoMO –
A question that wasn’t that hard.

Wall-nuts

Posted on February 8, 2023 by twitmericks

Some woodpeckers built up a store
Of nuts in a house, on the floor,
The cute, polyamorous
Tufted wall-hammerers
Pouring acorns galore.

Are you or have you ever been an economist?

Liz Truss blew a hole in our kitty
Then cried to the press: “What a pity!”
Although I was right
It all went to shite
Because of those reds in the City”.

Back tax and sack

Zahawi, the ex-Tory Chair
Owed tax that he failed to declare,
An easy mistake
For people to make
Who have a few million spare.

The loan arranger

The Chair of our dear BBC
Helped fix up a loan guarantee
For Johnson, who chose
Which name to propose,
Now move along, nothing to see.

Of cash from his tax dod… avoidance scheme.

Don’t have cake or eat it

Posted on January 17, 2023 by twitmericks

The food standards boss wants to make
It socially frowned on to take
Sweet treats to the office
For dodging such scoff is
Too hard for those ambushed by cake.
