Pomme fright

Posted on February 5, 2019 by twitmericks

A spud that did not make the grade/

When sent to join crisps being made/

Created a scare,/

For this bombe de terre/

Was an old ready salted grenade.///

Here be dragons

Posted on February 3, 2019 by twitmericks

The Welsh police put a red flag on/

A threat to the odd passing wagon:/

Give in to the urge/

To stare at the verge/

And risk being slain by a dragon.///

Image problem

Posted on February 3, 2019 by twitmericks

A governor faced with disgrace/

To do with his yearbook and race,/

By owning some pix/

He then tried to nix,/

Is trying quite hard to lose face.///

Brex-shit

Posted on February 2, 2019 by twitmericks

The prospect with which we are faced/

Should Britain do Brexit in haste/

And leave in a hurry/

Is rivers of slurry/

And mountains of putrefied waste.///

Underground sex

Posted on February 1, 2019 by twitmericks

Three men caused a hullaballoo/

By having a Northern Line screw;/

Enjoying relations/

Through several stations,/

They got off around Waterloo.///

The Last Trump*

Posted on January 31, 2019 by twitmericks

God moves in mysterious ways,/

But if as Ms Sanders portrays,/

He backed the great chump,/

Beware the Last Trump/

That heralds the end of all days.///

*Def from Collins: the final trumpet call that according to the belief of some will awaken and raise the dead on the Day of Judgment

Not strong for long

Posted on January 30, 2019 by twitmericks

Theresa the Strong and the Stable/

Is lacking support and unable/

To push through Plan A,/

Resists a delay,/

And won’t take No Deal off the table.///

UK hun?

Posted on January 29, 2019 by twitmericks

Dear Brussels, I hope you can see/

That though I did freely agree/

The deal we both signed,/

I’ve now changed my mind:/

I’m sorry – it’s not EU, it’s me.///

Gender gulf

Posted on January 29, 2019 by twitmericks

The UAE handed a prize/

To those doing most for the rise/

Within that great polity/

Of gender equality,/

Of which all the winners were guys.///

Trevor gone forever

Posted on January 28, 2019 by twitmericks

A mallard who sadly got stuck/

On Niue has run out of luck;/

A canine attack/

Has silenced his quack,/

The pioneer now a dead duck.///
