Affairs of State

President Francois Hollande/
Was spotted auprès de sa blonde*/
But nobody cares/
About such affairs/
In France, they are all gens du monde.
*An old French song, ‘Next to my girlfriend’ the alternative title of which, believe it or not, is ‘Le Prisonnier d’Hollande’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aupr%C3%A8s_de_ma_blonde

No Solace for Wallis the Polis

There was an old Met police copper/
Whose lying was rather improper/
He said the Chief Whip/
Gave officers lip/
And so he has now come a cropper.

Dennis and the Menace

There is a Korean named Kim/
Who executes rivals at whim/
And so seems an odd man/
For old Dennis Rodman/
To think needs a tribute from him.

Honourable Member?

When Boris said Dave treated Nick/

As a shield so the dirt didn’t stick,/

The word prophylactic/

Describing the tactic/

Implies the PM is a dick.

Gatesgate

There is an old fellow named Gates/

Who used to be big in the States/

He caused a big drama/

By slamming Obama/

Who’s no longer one of his mates.

Cold Snap

There was a US polar vortex/
So cold it could penetrate Gore-tex/
To utterly freeze/
Your elbows and knees/
And ice up your cerebral cortex.///

Virgin’ on the Ridiculous

A man who was naked and keen/

Got stuck in a washing-machine/

Some best extra virgin/

Soon saw him emergin’/

Well-oiled but impeccably clean.

Tory Glory Story

There once was a prominent Tory/
Who said tho it got a bit gory/
The Great War was good/
Just misunderstood/
Rejoice in its blood death & glory.

Morally Bankrupt

Nick Griffin, who leads the far-right/

Is in a precarious plight/

The financial basis/

Of Britain’s top racist/

Is what we call deep in the shite.
