But he went to the ends of the Earth
To give irony a wide berth.

But he went to the ends of the Earth
To give simile a wide berth.

You kip if you want...

Al Murray, the Pub Landlord,
In Thanet South, trod a different board.
A full quota of kippers were smoked
And Nigel's ego was poked.

Al Murray, the Pub Landlord,
In Thanet, struck a satirical chord
As Nigel Farage, the Pub Bloke,

Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Envies the Vulcan mind-meld;
Ordering henchmen by gesticulation
Frees Bond to go on saving the nation.
