Adam West,

caped crusader, – in peace may you rest.

We need a dynamic duo to rescue us right now,

for our present leaders…… Holy cow!

Rump Parliament

Bojo,

recovering your mojo?

You called Corbyn ‘a mutton-headed old mugwump,‘

but it’s uncool to preside over a parliament that’s only a ‘Rump.’

Boys’ Jobs?

Philip May,

soon you might have your say.

Theresa, for all her sins,

will have time to share the ‘boys’ jobs’ – and to take out the bins.

Amber Rudd,

after that debate, your name was mud.

So patronising to talk about a magic money tree

that pays out to you and not to me!

Get down, Shep!

John Noakes,

you were one of those blokes

who could work with children AND animals; whose renown

was immortalised by your catchphrase: ‘Shep, get down!‘

Sir Roger Moore,

I am very sure

that for suavity, you will always be held an exemplar –

especially in the role of Simon Templar.

James Matthews,

I wonder if Pippa would still choose

to say,  ‘Come hither!’

if you didn’t have two farthings to rub together.

Stephen Fry,

remember that one day, we are all going to die.

Don’t get carried away by lofty quiz-master behaviour.

On Judgement Day, you won’t be interrogating your Lord and Saviour.

Alex Salmond,

what if you could swap heads with Philip Hammond?

You’d definitely look a lot more suave-

less like a ‘have not’ and more like a ‘have.’

Bob Dylan,

why were you so unwillin’

to accept your Nobel Prize for Literature, in Stockholm?

Maybe you believe Blowin’ in the Win’ ain’t that great a pome?
