Against sending weapons as cargo/
To Syrian forces/
The thing now of course is/
A typical Euro-farrago.

Because of a libel court case.

When sued for a tweet –
In spite of her *innocent face*.

Swivel Partnership

Posted on May 22, 2013 by twitmericks
There was a PM who was harried
By those against gays being married.
MPs apt to swivel
Were mildly uncivil
But Cameron’s motion was carried.

An astronaut named Major Tim/
Informs us his vocals are grim/

Expect no more Bowie from him.
