For Limerick form overuse,
Nor for his views
Or attempts to amuse
With targeted textual abuse...

US Supreme Court stymies file-sharing 
The law will destroy all those daring
To make software for free file-sharing:
"You all have to stop it,
Unless it's for profit...
And as for what's fair, we're past caring."

Time runs out for Countdown host 
His number's up, Richard Whiteley:
A dim star, yet still he shone brightly,
'Cos though seeming humdrum
This Countdown conundrum
Actually did it twice nightly.

Brown bashes Brussels in Mansion House speech 
Gordon says he's had enough,
Of Brussels' insufferable guff...
Is this new-found fire
Just fuelled by his ire
That Tony was first to talk tough?

Schwarzenegger wants US to get tough on global warming 
Arnie must hope the hot summer
Makes the electorate dumber,
Since what sap would buy
That he's a green guy
When he hauls round in a Hummer?!

Tom Cruise has C4 pranksters arrested for squirting him with water 
Cruise made the coppers give chase
To chaps who "invaded his space",
Though some say the squirt's
Not norm'ly averse
To men squirting into his face.

Blairs use Chequers to party with rock stars and Richard and Judy 
Tony and Cherie share Chequers
With all the world's movers and shaquers:
Not statesmen or leaders,
Just lame TV bleeders
And various hotel-room wrequers.

Government to ban protests near Parliament 
Streets in the shade of Big Ben
Might not see protest again,
So plonk all your placards
In ministers' back-yards
And see if they back the Bill then!

Michael Jackson cleared of all charges 
Jacko's been let off scot free, so
He'll sue if we call him a paedo...
Still, we're free to critique
The plastic-faced freak
And call him a boy-bedding weirdo.

Hampshire buses fit urine spray to curb exhaust pollution 
If you ride buses in Hampshire*,
Give the exhaust pipe a glampshire
And if you can see
A spray full of pee
Offer to empty your pampshire.

*a.k.a. Hants, for the benefit of TOAD's non-British readers

Blair defends Britain's EU rebate from French onslaught 
"Oi Chirac! Listen to me, mate:
Keep your foul hands off our rebate!
Or p'raps you'd prefer
I kick up a stir
Over the whole CAP's fate?"

Alien conspiracist Pentagon hacker faces extradition to US 
A geek hacked in and deconstructed
The Pentagon's system, then fucked it:
"They've aliens hidden!"
Cried Gary McKinnon...
Now he's the one being abducted.

Blair and Bush say aid deal is on the cards 
Blair, on his pre-G8 push,
Can't wipe the smile off his mush:
"Though in pure pounds and pence
I've had few commit-ments...
Look at me next to George Bush!"

Government scraps EU referendum plans 
Straw says he's scrapping the poll
Since the EU's in a hole,
Cos they'll let us express
What we think if it's yes
But not with the noes on a roll.

Government proposes road-charging scheme 
Plans to charge cars by the mile
Might bring up motorists' bile,
But better one pays
Than live out one's days
In a gridlocked and smog-smothered isle.

Japanese scientists to drill to centre of the Earth 
Earth's core, a mystery still,
Will soon meet a Japanese drill,
But is their real goal
In digging this hole
Just to jump through for a thrill?

Two-thirds of Dutch voters reject EU constitution 
The Dutch have assured dissolution
Of Europe's proposed constitution:
They don't want to cede
Their right to smoke weed
Or profit from teen prostitution.

UK referendum unlikely as Dutch reject EU constitution 
The French and now Dutch referenda
Have blackballed the Brussels agenda:
And though Blair is smitten
Will he still ask Britain
When we're bound to say "no surrender"?
