Was wanted by agents, so fled.

On the Wings of Fiscal Responsibility

Posted on June 20, 2013 by twitmericks
There was a UK politician
Named Osborne just like the musician
Who sang Wings of Love
Thank heaven above
We haven’t heard George’s rendition!

Two trend-setting chaps from Milan
Designed lots of frocks, and a plan
To minimise tax
Upon their vast stacks
& so face a year in the can.

Art Attack

There was an art buyer and seller
Who throttled his partner Nigella

Can have no excuse
So cops went and cautioned the fella.*

Preyed upon girls who were small/

There was an old Istanbul park/
Which lately provided the spark/
For public dissent/
Till riot cops went/
And cleared them all out after dark.

Rouhani, who ran in Iran,
And not the Supreme Leader’s man
Has won the election
A change of direction
That wasn’t in Khamenei’s plan.
