There once was a criminal klutz/

Who plotted to snip Bieber’s nuts/

The con put his trust in/

A warder, so Justin/

Escaped this unkindest of cuts.

May You Live in Boring Times

There was an old body from Brussels/

That tried to resolve Euro-tussles/

By jaw & not war/

This may be a bore/

But the Nobel prefers chat to muscles.
