In these tough times we all now should spare,
A thought for poor old Ryanair,
When the stockbrokers call,
That their profits will fall,
Well sometimes life just seems low fair.

I’d normally moan in despair,
When the papers report an affair,
I just think it sucks,
But it’s Coulson and Brooks,
So this time I don’t really care.

We’ve had five years of financial hell,
But at long last it seems things are well,
Our national debt,
Is no longer a threat,
Since our chieftain rang a magic bell.

Yet again the nice folk at Love/Hate,
Are making the hippies irate,
Those lads have some cheek,
And they’ll be back next week,
With another dose of Liveline bait.

Now Angela wants to know why,
The Americans think they can spy,
On whomever they choose,
But Angela’s news,
Is from now on some rules will apply.

There once was a fellow from Coon,
A bit of a World War 2 loon,
Who decided to bake,
A Hitlerite cake,
And now he looks quite the buffoon.

We’re now putting kids into care,
If we don’t think the shade of their hair,
Matches their mom or dad,
Some folk say this is bad,
But it strikes me as perfectly fair.
