Assault on Lineker

With Gary off Match of the Day
Suspended for having his say,
His Tory-whipped bosses
Must now count their losses,
Their schedule in rank disarray.

A turnip for the books

“Don’t moan about salads and fruits:
This government proudly salutes
A veg we can cherish,
As foreign foods perish
Let Britain go back to its roots
“.

Leaves romaine in EU

Officials in Britain allege/
It’s weather, not Brexit, and pledge/
No shortage of food,/
But others conclude/
We’ve hit the thin end of the veg.

I’ll be darned!

Some Romans carved out of a block
A wooden thing shaped like a cock;
Researchers conclude
The phallus they hewed
Was not used for darning a sock

Bard fluffs its lines

When Google unveiled its new Bard,
The debut was fatally marred:
It flunked, in the promo –
Rushed through amid FoMO –
A question that wasn’t that hard.

Wall-nuts

Some woodpeckers built up a store
Of nuts in a house, on the floor,
The cute, polyamorous
Tufted wall-hammerers
Pouring acorns galore.

Are you or have you ever been an economist?

Liz Truss blew a hole in our kitty
Then cried to the press: “What a pity!”
Although I was right
It all went to shite
Because of those reds in the City”.

Back tax and sack

Zahawi, the ex-Tory Chair
Owed tax that he failed to declare,
An easy mistake
For people to make
Who have a few million spare.

The loan arranger

The Chair of our dear BBC
Helped fix up a loan guarantee
For Johnson, who chose
Which name to propose,
Now move along, nothing to see.
