There was a crooked man who had a crooked smile
who found a crooked partner filled with crooked wiles
they made a crooked pact to build their crooked scheme
and they both fibbed together: Brexit’s no crooked gleam.

Apocalypse Now
Alas, the end of the world is nigh.
Italian expectations were high
of qualification for the world cup
but it seems they were sold a pup.
It is apocalypse, said the headlines:
the azzurri will be on the sidelines
as the finals get under way in June.
The fans will sing a mournful tune
instead of a joyous, uplifting song;
the national anthem seems wrong.
Football fans blamed the coach
and he was not beyond reproach.
Everyone thinks that the solution
can only be achieved by revolution.
