I VISITED NIGEL FARAGE’S GARDEN

 

I visited Nigel Farage’s garden

Well, it was hardly National Trust

The patch of lawn was really shit

But the borders were very robust

MY GARDENER HAS OCD

 

My gardener has OCD

His herb beds are alphabetized

I asked how he found the time

“It’s next to the Sage” he replied

MY SISTER IS A GIANT IN JOURNALISM

 

My sister is a giant in journalism

And her prowess is eternal

Standing over six feet high

She’s on the Tall Street Journal

YOU CAN TRAIN ANIMALS TO DO ANYTHING

 

You can train animals to do anything

I don’t know where it will stop

We have a Pole dancing sheep

In the window of the kebab shop

HOPE SITS PATIENTLY

 

Hope sits patiently

Upon its primordial throne

A reassuring constant,

In a sea of change

Always there

Available to all

Like a beacon in the dark

To lost souls at sea

Pure unremitting Hope

An unquenchable thirst

An unsatisfied yearning

An unscratchable itch

There for everyone

When all else fails

Hope waits for us all

Sitting patiently

Upon its primordial throne

Since time immemorial

And until the end of time

ARE YOU WEARING A STICK ON TATTOO?

 

Are you wearing a stick-on tattoo?

Is that really the best you could do?

What? You were too scared to get proper ink?

What will the rest of the chapter think?

IT’S TEN YEARS, ALMOST TO THE DAY

Its ten years, almost to the day

Since I decided to marry my wife

And marrying her was the last

Decision I made in my life
