McNuggets

James Norton,
If ever he gave thought on
McNudity on McMafia,
Felt perhaps naught was McNaffier.

Me too

Social intercourse
So hard to enjoy before
"My boyfriend" let slip

or do you prefer

Social intercourse
So hard to conduct before
"My husband" intrudes

Reactionary Monarchs

Ethel the Unready
Made Ethelred so heady,
But complaints from Maud
About her garden left him bored.

Or do you prefer

Ethel the Unready
Made Æthelred so unsteady,
But statements from Maud
About her garden left him floored.

Evita

Eva María Duarte de Perón
Never accepted being 'anon'.
From angel of hope to such a peripatetic cadaver
Even a pope got entangled in the palaver.


By Raúl Manteola (1905-1974)

Antarctic Gurkha

Lt Scott Sears
Trekked solo to the Pole, conquering his fears
Of polar bears and freeze-dried curries,
Schlepping south on two old racquets of Andy Murray's.
