Shit choices

When members were polled in the end/

On which polished turd they’d commend,/

Indicative voting/

Left no motion floating,/

They all disappeared round the bend.///

Safe space for men

Officials at NASA have canned/

An all-female spacewalk they’d planned;/

As spacesuits for guys/

Are not the right size,/

The mission will have to be manned.///

Members rise up

MPs have been airing their views,/

And say it’s now their turn to choose/

What Britain should do/

About the EU,/

Instead of just watching May lose.///

March message for May

A million people today/

Are marching to tell Mrs May/

Her Brexit deal’s dead/

And maybe instead/

The people should have a new say.///

It could be verse

Prosaic Theresa gets terse/

She sees things can only get worse/

Perhaps, Mrs May,/

World Poetry Day/

Means now is the time to re-verse.///

Mouseproud

A pensioner scratching his head/

About who had tidied his shed,/

By using his nous,/

Discovered a mouse/

That didn’t like mess near its bed.///

Ewes it or lose it

Some 56 ewes went to term,/

Australian farmers confirm,/

Each bearing a lamb,/

From one long-dead ram,/

By means of some very old sperm.///

Period piece

Dmitry was ever so able:/

He dreamed up, or so goes the fable,/

A way, by formatinum,/

Lead, zinc, carbon, platinum/

Et al might appear in a table.///

Putting the F in fibre

I’m sorry my speech is so rude,/

It’s not me but rather my food,/

Our ancestors’ diet/

Accounting for why it/

Is frequently fucking well crude.///

May not last

MPs gave their backing today/

To seeking a Brexit delay:/

As this month’s too soon,/

They’ll try end of June,/

(Before which will come end of May).///
