A sniffer dog found class A drugs/
Inside a consignment of rugs/
To anyone scoring/
Such narcotic flooring/
You can’t smoke a carpet, you mugs!

And who will be leader one day.

Is something Beijing cannot bear/
The party’s unwilling/
To talk of the killing/
And wants the Chinese unaware.

There was an old fellow in Spain/
Who after a 40-year reign
Said ‘Being a king
Just isn’t my thing –
The reign in Spain’s mainly a pain’.

For sexual gratification/

His passion for muck/

Resulting in incarceration.
