Congratulations… and Urinations

Posted on August 27, 2013 by

A team after winning the Ashes/ May hold a few victory bashes/ But even caught short/ A cricketer ought/ To walk off the field when he slashes. ///http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/england/10266131/Ashes-2013-ECB-urged-to-examine-claims-England-urinated-on-Oval-pitch.html https://twitter.com/twitmericks/status/372268881030565888

Greeks Bare of Gifts

Posted on November 4, 2011 by

Papandreou the no. 1 Greek/Went into the chamber to speak/But when he got there/The coffers were bare/So his government’s well up the creek. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15586673
