On top of some land
Where we cannot command
But thankfully there‘s a plan B

To dine on that fish
Perhaps don’t buy it in Subway

Just one little flaw
You might break the law
By putting your arse in a seat

To put more people up in space
So let’s hope the crew
Called Nie, Tang and Liu
Have fun in their orbital base

Of ancient woodlice
And does that sound nice
To you? As it doesn’t to me

Are announcing a trade deal today
Which is good news because
Some cheap meat from Oz
Will make all their woes go away

With a queen yesterday and said she
Was quite full of chat
And asked questions that
Touched upon Putin and Xi
