Heart-troubled Blair says he'll go in five years

Brown's must be spluttering...
How much more time can he bide?

In a drug-addled haze...

Branson to offer £150K trips into space by 2007  
A space flight on Virgin Galactic
Might well give you thrills quite climactic,
But who will pay Branson
For kicks a king's ransom,
When pence buys his Mates prophylactic?

To those who like sport
Bloody and ritualistic.

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) barred from US mid-flight  
A Muslim who once used to folk-sing
Is moderate and mildly spoken;
So why won't the States
Let him near their airspace?
You ever heard "Morning Has Broken"?

Al Qaeda hostage Ken Bigley begs for life in web video 
Abu Musab al Zarqawi
Doesn't have much of an army;
With sword at Ken's head,
His weapon's the web...
Twice cutting edge, but still barmy.

But that'll give Dubya
Grounds for another damn war.

Landowners say 'right to roam'
Will ruin their countryside home...
But we don't hunt fox
Or smother the crops
In poisonous chemical foam.

Natural disasters on the increase, says UN 
UN researchers advise
Plague/famine/flood's on the rise

Prompts Earth's retribution...
Blow me down! There's a surprise!

The serjeant-at-arms has no nous,

The place would seem empty
Without squires and hacks in the House.

Were stunned by the mother of stunts,
As fans of fox furs
Turned vote saboteurs:

When clearly he's really more keen
On his re-election,
Since closer inspection
Reveals that he's no Mr Clean.

A fighter for dads' access rights
As Batman scaled Buck House's heights,
But this bold invader
Is less 'Caped Crusader'
And rather more 'sad twat in tights'.

The Cayman catastrophe's rough,
But Ivan's still not had enough:
"Since I'm set to pass
The home of cigars,
I might as well have a quick puff."

Said Hurricane Ivan: "Oh no!
I've caused the Jamaicans such woe;
They cry, 'Why'd you blast us?'
But I thought that Rastas
Never could get too much blow!"

Dracula beams back the Vulcan 
Howard has disinterred Redwood
To set Tory campaign sights headward...
Not men of tomorro',
But more House of Horror,
Full of the old rotting dead wood.

'Open all hours' plan for schools 
Policy wonks believe powers
To keep kids in school at all hours
Will make 'em well-rounded,
Which shows just how grounded
Are those stuck in ivory towers!

Chancellor angered by loss of Cabinet ally 
Mr Brown's friend Mr Smith
With Mr Blair's boys had a tiff,

On my vital or-gans
But no one before's touched my heart."

Hundreds killed in Beslan school siege 
In Russia, a siege gone awry
Blew hundreds of children sky high,
So now Chechen fighters
Don't seem quite so righteous,
And their cause (like those kids) will die.

But when some geek's Apple
Finds alien crackle
'S more likely some bytes went astray.

Thought they'd fool the bookies...
But now just the sack's a dead cert.
