To give irony a wide berth.

Madonna and child
Walking Bristol's Colston Street
Undemanding love

You kip if you want...

Al Murray, the Pub Landlord,
In Thanet South, trod a different board.

And Nigel's ego was poked.

Al Murray, the Pub Landlord,

As Nigel Farage, the Pub Bloke,
Fear of foreigners did stoke.

Ordering henchmen by gesticulation
Frees Bond to go on saving the nation.
