Was toppled one day in a coup/

Vanished Into Thin Air

There was a Bolivian plane/

Americans thought might contain/

The fellow they seek/

Because of a leak/

But searching the plane was in vain.

Punchy Discussion

A wealthy and prominent Russian
Who during a TV discussion
Delivered two blows
To one of his foes
Could not avoid some repercussion.

There is an old physicist bloke
Whose invisibility cloak
Has won him a prize
From which I surmise
It’s not just a fictional joke.

Prehistoric Stones

Keith, Ronnie, Charlie and Mick
Put on a display that was slick
The chaps from the Stones
Although now old bones
Appear to be still in good nick.

Don’t Walk

Two chaps from the old EDL
Are with the police for a spell
They tried to descend
Upon the East End
But ended up sharing a cell.

Pickles and Salad

A minister famed for his size,
Eschewing a burger and fries,
Was filmed eating greens.
Such overdone scenes
Are taken with salt by the wise.

Who’s currently feeling quite bitter
For old Kevin Rudd
Was out for her blood
& managed today to outwit ‘er.

Whose parents saw he could go far

There is an old man from Milan/

With hairpiece and permanent tan/

Whose hunger for bunga/

With girls ever younger/

Has earned 7 years in the can.
