Dennis’s basketball gang,
Are all on the way to Pyongyang,
To take on some short,
Left wing people in sport,
The odds are they’ll win with a bang.

The folk at the ESRI,
Are excited, and I’ll tell you why,
They think the next year,
Won’t be so austere,
And they also think that pigs can fly.

Lately life hasn’t been fun,
For our Korean friend Kim Jong Un,
His uncle, it seems,
Had capitalist dreams,
But this time our hero has won.

Charles Saatchi’s asserting that if,
One’s wife’s a bit fond of a spliff,
Or maybe some coke,
It’s okay to choke,
Her as part of a family tiff

Money? Ok, we have none,
But Paddy still has lots of fun,
We’re at number six,
In the hard drinkers’ mix,
Together, let’s reach number one.

Apparently now there’s a dearth,
Of women prepared to give birth,
The thought of the joys,
Of young girls and young boys,
Isn’t worth the increase to one’s girth.

The Indo says you’re doing great,
If you’ve managed to score more than eight,
If not you’ll lose face,
For it seems it’s a race,
So hurry before it’s too late.

That jolly old mayor Rob Ford,
Decided it’s time he explored,
What’s it like to smoke crack,
Now he’s under attack,
And his future has gone overboard.

This morning the brightest and best,
Are all lining up to invest,
In twitter. It’s funny,
It’s always lost money,
They all must be easily impressed.

Watch out when you reach for the tap,
Tonight or your patience might snap,
When nothing comes out,
Of your poor faucet spout,
‘Cause our water supply system’s crap.
