Does the Iraqi election,
Signal a change of direction?
Or simply more fear
For put-upon Shia
As Sunni expand insurrection?

The ozone hole's going to spread
Over North Europe, it's said;
I don't mean to fuss,
But folks, that means us...
So stay in the dark, or in bed.

Terrorists? Britain might breed 'em,
But should we give up hard-won freedoms?
We don't have a choice;
Blair's deaf to the voice
That says, "Don't take those - we might need 'em!"

Do seaside arcades with soft toys
Corrupt all you young girls and boys?
"Stuff giant teddies!
Just give us the readies,
In used, unmarked twopenny coins."

The EU says high-strength vit Cs
And other unproved remedies
Must be cleared from the shops,
Yet they licensed Vioxx
And that spread a fatal disease.

Howard, in sheer desperation,
Says he'll curtail immigration...
So, Drac, do your worst;
Just swear you'll be first
For voluntary repatriation.

Never'll war be the same;
Now troops can murder and maim
With no gun on shoulder,
Just touchpad controller...
And no guilt, 'cos killing's a game.

A storm on one faraway moon
Must smell like a little boy's room,
But let's hope that Titan
Escapes any lightning
Or else the whole place'll go boom!

When some mad minister spouts
She's gonna stop drunken louts
By getting them banned
From pubs on demand...
She's had too much Famous Grouse!

Bush says he'll smash ideologies
Trying to offer apologies
For murder and hate...
Which lots would equate
With neo-conservative policies.

Troops, for a bit of a lark,
Tortured some folks in Iraq,
But nobody's laughing
And plenty are barfing
Now all British soldiers are marked.

Airbus is bigger than Boeing,
But only the rich'll be going
In style, while poor dumbos
Who take superjumbos
Are crammed in like cattle a-lowing.

Warmong'ring right-winger Rice
Gives George Bush all his advice...
What's diplomacy's fate
Now the new Sec of State
Favours more pre-emptive strikes?

An infamous jail in Bangkok
Is bringing in webcams to shock
Those still selling stuff...
Like it isn't enough
Their heads'll be put on the block!

Many a viewer agrees
Titan has oily seas...
But squint if in doubt;
You might just make out
The hull of the Exxon Valdez.

Harry won't show real contrition
Over his Nazi rendition,
Since all he was doing
Was merely pursuing
Long-standing Windsor tradition.

Mark Thatcher's guilty coup plea
Means that he'll get off scot free...
It's strange what fate brings
When pulling the strings
Are money - and mum (Mrs. T).

Children that use mobile phones
Might not lose touch with their homes,
But you can't be sure
They won't lose much more...
Like normal brain chromosomes.

Big beasts that constantly battle
Shouldn't be shocked when they rattle
The cages of those
Who'll reel from their blows...
Namely the New Labour cattle.

Why should a bunch of fanatics
Stop Springer's rude operatics?
No atheist bays
To ban Songs of Praise:
A show some find far more traumatic.

A scammer said of the tsunami,
"Boy oh boy, saps, are you barmy?
Though my tale doesn't wash,
Still you shower me with dosh...
Now I'm off to buy a new car, me!"

Brits' hearts and wallets both bleed
For wave-battered nations in need,
Yet few show concerns
(In monetary terms)
For Africans needing a feed.

Hamza won't play by the book,
Says long nails mean he can't walk...
So set up a rail
On the roof of the jail
And drag him along by the hook!

An old-time odd odist named Fletcher
Was vulgar (though never a lecher),
And finally, Esther,
That's Life's wry jester
Splits from this life on a stretcher.
