This England team - dash it, indict 'em!
These Indians - why can't we fight 'em?
See, there goes a wicket,
A wicket, a wicket -

Romney's run has now come to a close
With his views not so far from Pangloss
His best possible world
Has completely unfurled
With Latinos outnumbering Anglos

C.I.A.'s General Petraeus
Has quit for a fling, but I say thus:
Is it not just his life?
Between him and his wife?
Or did this General betray us?

At last my new iphone has come
And I navigate well with my thumb
But although it's called called smart
The embarrassing part
Is the way Siri makes me feel dumb

Obama's opponent was stiff
But for him not much more that a tiff
But there's no time to gloat
As we paddle our boat
To the top of the great fiscal cliff

New York City still shovels and cleans
Will the town be the same?
Does it need a new name?
A catchy one like New Yorleans

You proles have no reason to whine -
Rush off to your food-bank and dine!

We're off double-dip,
And back to our good old flatline!

Let prisoners vote? This must fail.
We must keep them outside the pale.
Tax-dodgers and hackers,
Of course, are my backers,
But only the plebs go to jail.

Since they flatter in town and in glen
Showing shoulders so high
And a strong, hairy thigh
And we're not yet describing the men

The Brit asked the Yank for a fag
"Do you want me all pissed?"
"Only if you insist."

Clever writing is such a hard trick
That it pays to be just a bit sick
But the treatment, no doubt
Is to work it all out
In the form of an apt limerick

Using shorts and electrical ground

The thrill's more, you'll find
If you wear them the wrong way around

Protesting collusive fat-cattitude
Makes for an un-Christian attitude.
Now be a good prole,
Crawl back in your hole -
And do help yourself to a platitude.

Now, here's a conundrum to mull:
When cows are turned on to the full
And make smartphones bleep,
Will they get mates to keep
Or just technological bull?

Respect others space
Do not look in their face
And make sure that you stifle that fart

A place you can go to eat cats
But when it's all done
And they eat the last one
Will the festival then switch to rats?

And outraged the modern-art snobs!

I added my ink,
And value to Rothko's big blobs!

Moving light speed like some crazed amoker
Is the dream of a cross country trucker
If we could go that fast
We'd end up in the past
Because speed is a cosmic clocksucker

Since the salmon produced salmonella

A virginal contract was made;
The sleepers were happily laid -
But it all fell apart
In Whitehall's black heart,
And the taxpayer, railroaded, paid.

It seems they mis-spoke,
Their promises broke -
Of course, I would never do that.
