American footballers;
Seemingly all big mothers!
Cause rugby fans a frown,
Strolling over a line, calling it a touchdown...

Angry brown water
Avon stirred from lethargy

on seeing Bath's river in spate below Pulteney Bridge...

Miranda Hart
Plays a big-boned, big-hearted part.
Wacky, funny, with talent imbued;
And always ready to appear semi-nude.
