There was an old US musician/
Within a strong protest tradition./
‘We shall overcome’/
He’d sing and he’d strum,/
Defying the House inquisition.

A cow shed explosion was started/
When 90-odd cattle all farted/
A tiny spark lit/
Their gasified shit/
And half of the roof then departed.///
There once was a beautiful dove/
A symbol of peace and of love/
Released by the Pope/
To give us all hope/
(Then dive-bombed by crows from above).

The experts are quite categoric:/
Dark, blue-eyed and hairy/
With no starch or dairy./
Alas, poor intolerant Yorick.

President Francois of France/
Has ended his former romance/
He hopes his old flame/
Won’t blacken his name/
Which seems to be taking a chance.

A boy and a girl escaped school/
Defying its every rule/
And flew somewhere sunny/
On mum and dad’s money./
Their parents did not find this cool.

A Lib Dem is under suspension/
For unwanted sexual attention/
The upstanding member/
Denies, let’s remember/
The case’s main bone of contention.

There once was a dodgy salute/
That landed West Brom in dispute/
Because of a feller/
Who did the quenelle/
The club sponsors gave them the boot.///
