In a restaurant that doesn’t serve meat
But to see ONA win
A star from Michelin
You’ll have to admit is some feat

As he reckons his lawyer’s a chump

Was due to society
Having old fashioned concepts of shame

A rather large cock
So if you’re prone to shock
Then instead just watch CBBC

Was found in a tree
After what seemed to be
A grueling and arduous trip
