Bequeathed us a litany
Of soulful recordings to play.

Whose libel case fell a bit flat
A judge found the tale

The Government’s NHS Bill
May shortly be put through the mill
As Tory grandees

Said prayers should be given priority
But not even in Devon
A court ruled, is heaven

A Leveson witness named Heather
Said when she & Paul were together
The Mirror attacked her
And Piers Morgan hacked her
Leaving her at the end of her tether
There is an Italian fellow
Folks know him as Fabio Capello
He chucked in his job
Over John Terry’s gob
Cos he thought the FA had been yellow.
A President known as Cristina’s
Said islands she calls Las Malvinas
And all of their oil
Are not British soil
But actually are Argentina’s.
