A SpaceX rocket is on a collision course with the moon after spending almost seven years hurtling through space, eggheads say

The boffins are saying that soon
A rocket will crash on the moon
And it will collide
Somewhere on the dark side
So that’s where the debris will be strewn

A Nasa artist’s rendition of the James Webb space telescope ‘a million miles from earth’

There’s a telescope that boffins say

A committee of UK MPs has produced a report criticising the gambling industry regulator for trying to reduce addiction

So he can’t be a berk
As I reckon that this must be true

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson (right) lied about a lockdown party at No. 10 during the first lockdown, his ex-aide Dominic Cummings (left) claims

Some shock allegations were made

That Johnson has lied
Quite often while plying his trade

North Korea, I think you’ll agree
Is a country that must remain free
And so we’ll all cheer
And applaud when we hear
That they’ve once more flung bombs at the sea

Britain’s Prince Andrew (above) has lost his miiltary roles and the use of the His Royal Highness title

There once was a dirty old prince
Who hired lawyers who failed to convince
A judge that he’s clean
Which angered the Queen
This won’t make him sweat, but he’ll wince

New Zealander Zane Wedding (above) had a cockroach extracted from his ear three days after feeling ‘wriggling’

If some morning soon you might hear
A disturbing sound in your ear
And feel that you oughtta
Drain out some water
The result could be worse than you fear
