The winner of Home Of The Year
Should be feted with a hearty cheer
But viewers were bitter
And angry on Twitter
And said it was far too austere.

harmony

The Abyss Creations factory, where Harmony is manufactured.

Some boffins are building a bot
That’s programmed to find you quite hot
With bits that all feel
If you’re drunk, vaguely real
Will you try it? I think I will not.

Simon

Simon, destined to be the world’s biggest bunny, died in the cargo section of a United Airlines Boeing 767

An airline may lose some more money
After killing a very large bunny
Will the court name a figure
Or break down and snigger?
Let’s face it, it is rather funny.

maze

Kerala bar owner skirts ban on sale of alcohol within 500 metres of highway

An Indian judgement would send
A thirsty chap right round the bend
So let’s toast in praise
The Kerala maze
That lets thirsty folk drink at the end.

lepen

Marine le Pen, president of France’s National Front

Remember that Nazi, Le Pen?
He got through the first round and then
Faced electoral slaughter
Now this time his daughter
Is doing the same thing again.

Let’s all celebrate as we learn
That our hero has made his return
So raise up a glass
Of fresh foamy Bass
To that honest man Bertie Ahern

legoland

Adults are banned from the Legoland Discovery Centre, Melbourne, Australia unless accompanied by a child

Some Aussies are feeling the rage
After handing a chunk of their wage
To those who say toys
Are for small girls and boys
And excluding folk of an old age.

Minister for Health Simon Harris TD with a model of St Vincent’s University Hospital

Young Simon has hit a home run
His work on the hospital’s done
And just for a wheeze
He’s handing the keys
To the door of the place to a nun.
