The Worst Poesy on Earth

Woken from nightmare
Thinking in Vogon poesy
Like a plurgled bee

E Clerihew Bentley

Edmund Clerihew Bentley
Wove poesy and wit so gently
Two rhyming couplets were his thing
Not conscious uncoupleting

Frank Holiday

A quiet Easter 
Twickenham is not London 
Conscious Uncoupling

Mind the Gap

Easter in London
In Tube stations of the cross
Buskers mined The Doors

Still full of herself

Shining brightly though
Long being in Earth's shadow
Luna starts waning

Ciggie, anyone? Dromedary or Bactrian?

Camel cigarettes.
When offering at High Tea,
Ask "One hump or two?"

Game of Thrones

Male Members in House
Rate female MPs by their boobs.
And we them by theirs.

Or do you prefer the Haiku below. Feel free to comment.

Gender power games
Played on fantastic thrones? No;
Green leather benches.



These haiku were inspired by news articles from 2004 and 2014.

And in a display of even-handedness MPs appear to be exercising asymmetric sexual power in gay relationships also. Equality of a kind but hardly laudable...

The Member for Wellingborough

At PMQs Mr Peter Bone
Invariably makes the PM groan.
Threatening him with a Mrs Peter Bone;
At such times the PM stands not alone.

Blöd Sinner

Wie antwortet man

Wenn Blödsinn gesprochen ist?
Heckler ohne Koch

I, Spy...

Johnny Worricker
Laboured under his unwieldy moniker.
Whereas Bond got the gambling, the guns, the girls;
Got to act the complete swine amongst pearls.

Bladder on a Stick

A room with no view
With such delicate marbling
Pain-shot and vein-shot

Is it a Sin to invade the Crimea?

A divided Church
Canons to the left of them
Canons to the right
