David Brent-types are wondering how
They can make all their colleagues laugh now
If you’re in that boat
You can now hire a goat
For a Zoom call. It’s certain to wow

Retired British Army Captain Tom Moore, who raised £33m for the NHS,  is to receive a knighthood.

When your actions are causing outrage
And you want a distracting front page
You can never go wrong
By giving a gong
To a hero who’s reached a great age

To eventually nail
