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.///

Water Stupid Decision

Posted on November 15, 2019 by twitmericks

When some in a council debate/

Won out in their bid to frustrate/

All action in Venice/

On climate change menace,/

Their room met a watery fate.///

Onan the Barbarian

Posted on November 13, 2019 by twitmericks

Old Johnson loves pulling a flanker,/

Attacking his foes with some rancour,/

But since to withdraw/

Was Onan’s true flaw*,/

It’s unclear who here is the wanker.///

Living on air

Posted on November 12, 2019 by twitmericks

For fans of a sugary roll,/

With weight they would like to control,/

A doughnut’s the thing,/

Which has in its ring/

A calorie-free central hole.///

His Master’s Voice

Posted on November 11, 2019 by twitmericks

The Brexiteer Farage will dump/

His promise to go on the stump/

In Tory-held seats,/

A climbdown that meets/

The wish of his boss, Donald Trump.///

Crude Soil

Posted on November 7, 2019 by twitmericks

A chain store is turning to muck/

Because it thinks fossil fuels suck,/

The folks at John Lewis/

Concluding cow poo is/

The clean way to power a truck.///

Launching into Trouble

Posted on November 7, 2019 by twitmericks

Welsh minister Cairns has to quit,/

Rees-Mogg is an upper-class twit,/

Whom Bridgen admires,/

A fake ad backfires,/

And Johnson spouts microwaved shit.///

Uncommonly Senseless

Posted on November 5, 2019 by twitmericks

Old Jacob Rees-Mogg gave offence/

At victims of Grenfell’s expense/

With comments so crass/

It’s plain that the ass/

Entirely lacks common sense!///
