Fear Factor

Posted on December 1, 2019 by twitmericks

When something went bang in the night/

The rest of us woke in a fright;/

For Johnson the fear/

He’ll have to appear/

On Neil is what makes him go white.///

Devices or Desires

Posted on December 1, 2019 by twitmericks

Smart underwear some Germans own/

Can swiftly disable your phone/

Till you and your lover/

Get under the cover,/

Ignore your devices, and bone.///

Ice won, Boris!

Posted on November 29, 2019 by twitmericks

The Tories gave Johnson advice/
To shun Corbyn, Sturgeon and Price/
And Berry and Swinson,/
For he’s less convincing,/
On climate, than that block of ice.///

Where the Sun don’t Shine

Posted on November 28, 2019 by twitmericks

A wellness-through-butt-tanning craze/
Has led to unseemly displays:/
You lie back and splay ’em,/
A warm perineum/
Thus soaking up health-giving rays.///

The Moo-trix

Posted on November 28, 2019 by twitmericks

With bovine-adapted VR
Cows mentally wander afar
To pastures much lusher
Than cowsheds inRussia
(In physical terms, where they are).

Lam Bested

The people in charge in Hong Kong,/

Perceived to have handled things wrong,/

Lost out in a vote/

From which one may note/

Support for democracy’s strong.///

Truck-up

Posted on November 22, 2019 by twitmericks

To test his unbreakable truck,
Musk called on a punter to chuck
Steel balls at the glass,
Which didn’t quite pass –
It shattered the minute they struck.

An envoy beyond US borders/

When asked if Zelensky-rewarders/

Had offered a quid/

Pro quo, said they did:/

“We followed the President’s orders”.///

Don’t Vex Your Ex

Posted on November 19, 2019 by twitmericks

The PM’s old flame, Ms Arcuri/

Says Johnson had better make shuri/

Picks up her next call,/

Or else she’ll tell all,/

For hell, as they say, hath no furi.///

Pizzaphile Prince

Posted on November 17, 2019 by twitmericks

A paedo-befriending old prince/

Went public but failed to convince,/

The claim that the royal/

Was simply too loyal/

Made PR professionals wince.///

Well, that was Take 1. But there was so much material in the interview, after I wrote that limerick, I just felt I hadn’t quite done justice to the self-justifying hypocrisy of it all. Or the pizza. So I allowed myself another go.

tweet

A prince who’s unable to sweat/

Is unsure which minors he met/

But nevertheless/

That Pizza Express/

Is one night he’ll never forget.///
