Now, who shall we get to review
Our brave boys? Lord Ashcroft, he'll do!
His payment's complete
For his House of Lords seat,
And he's bought some VC medals, too!

The days keep on dawning anew;
The Rapture is under review;
Though the math's heaven-sent
My conclusions were bent -
Dammit Lord, can't you give me a clue?

The future looks bleak, I'm bereft
Regrets are all I've got left
The maid in the hotel
Fought me off with a yell
They nabbed me, and now IMFed

As students grow ever more sick,
Dave the Brain has a spiffing new trick:
A lecturer's dream
Of teaching the cream -
So white and so rich and so thick!

And you think of self-harming? Tut tut!
You ought to think twice
Before having a slice,
As the A & E's had to be shut.
