Campaign in Spain

Posted on April 30, 2019 by twitmericks

The weekend election in Spain/

Saw overall Socialist gain/

And left, due to Vox,/

PP on the rocks,/

Its reign mainly fallen, it’s plain.///

Fracked off

Posted on April 28, 2019 by twitmericks

“Alack”, said Natascha, “I’m packing,/

As backing for fracking is lacking;/

Just give us a break,/

And take the odd quake -/

The UK has got to get cracking!”///

Money to burn

Posted on April 24, 2019 by twitmericks

A woman transformed into ash/

Some 40K Euros in cash/

By baking a strudel/

(Her boyfriend, the noodle,/

Neglecting to mention his stash).///

Comedy polled

Posted on April 22, 2019 by twitmericks

A comic’s successful campaign/

Has brought him electoral gain;/

“They laughed”, he deadpanned,/

“On hearing I’d stand -/

They’re not laughing now in Ukraine!”

Muellered

Posted on April 19, 2019 by twitmericks

The President tried to obstruct/

The Mueller inquiry, and ducked/

Its questions, and though/

He’s crowing, we know/

He greeted its launch with “I’m fucked”.///

A chemistry prof, Japanese,
Whose students learnt how to make Es/
Is under arrest
By cops unimpressed
With MD-MA joint degrees.///

Porn to lose

Posted on April 16, 2019 by twitmericks

A fellow whose folks binned his porn/

Decided, to general scorn,/

To sue mum and dad;/

He said: “Though it’s sad, Dilemma-wise, I’m on the horn”.///

Tiger feat

A golfer well known for his drive/

Rose fast, then went into a dive/

Until Tiger Woods/

Delivered the goods/

For Green Jacket win number 5.///

Turning turtle

Posted on April 15, 2019 by twitmericks

The death of a rare Yangtze turtle/

Ensures that the species will hurtle/

Towards its demise/

If all three are guys,/

So let’s hope one’s female (and fertile*).///

*North American pronunciation, of course – but not much rhymes with turtle. I guess that’s why Siouxsie and the Banshees rhymed it with ‘purple’ in ‘Christine’.

Every day he loves you less and less

Posted on April 13, 2019 by twitmericks

There was an old fellow named Trump/

Who, when he was out on the stump,/

Adored Wikileaks,/

Which now, when he speaks,/

He seems rather eager to dump.///
