Flight of fancy

Posted on July 5, 2019 by twitmericks

According to Trump, human flight/

Predates those two brothers named Wright -/

The war in the air,/

Under rockets’ red glare,/

Was waged by the dawn’s early light.///

By cook or by crook

Posted on July 3, 2019 by twitmericks

The Hamburglar pulled out the stops/

When raiding fast-food joints and shops,/

By making a meal/

Of what he could steal./

He’s now being grilled by the cops.///

Do not feed the python

Posted on July 1, 2019 by twitmericks

A python that measures nine feet/

Is looking for something to eat,/

So best you should take/

Some care with this snake,/

Especially if you’re petite.///

Special delivery

Posted on June 30, 2019 by twitmericks

Brazilians show some affection/

For rather a strange predilection:/

They come in their hordes/

To gather on wards,/

And watch a caesarean section.///

Sick ardour

Posted on June 27, 2019 by twitmericks

A fungus impels the cicada,/

In some psychedelic lambada,/

To shag till it’s dead/

As body parts shed,/

Which doesn’t diminish its ardour.///

Was Boris coached?

Posted on June 25, 2019 by twitmericks

Amid all the rows and the fusses/

The thing Boris Johnson discusses/

Is how, as was seen/

In 2016,/

He gets quite creative with buses.///

The Birds

Posted on June 24, 2019 by twitmericks

A couple were trapped for a week/

By gulls that would dive-bomb and shriek,/

Until a gazebo/

Put up by the Beeb o-/

Verhead made them safe from the beak.///

De Pfeffel kerfuffle

Posted on June 22, 2019 by twitmericks

Police were called out to a flat/

Where neighbours reported a spat/

As Carrie slammed Bozza/

And told him he wozza/

Red wine-spilling, unfeeling brat.///

Field of combat

Posted on June 21, 2019 by twitmericks

A violent fellow named Field/

Whom video footage revealed/

To roughly sequester/

A woman protester/

May find that his fate is now sealed.///

Carrie on regardless

Posted on June 19, 2019 by twitmericks

The woman in charge in Hong Kong/

Admitted she got some things wrong/

And shelved extradition,/

And now her position/

Is not looking terribly strong.///
