The Beautiful Great Game

England's World Cup team
Better dodging honey trap
Than the offside trap?

'The Big Reveal'

Little Red Riding Hood,
If she'd entered the wood
In an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini...
It'd be a very different tale. Fini!

Branching Out

Why does it bother?
Blind deaf dumb it knows to grow
A tree's will to live?

Chain Smoker

Isambard Kingdom Brunel,
If not chain-smoking felt unwell.
Never without his stovepipe headgear;
Monoxide poisoning his greatest fear.

Eeh, Ewe and Eh, 'Aiku

Emma Grundy.
Her election win shocked all and sundry.
What could be wickeder
Than using Ambridge Analytica.

Third Rock from THE SUN

Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Never broke the Prime Directive bar
One time on Sol III
As the Brexites tribe he sought to set free.

Frequency Hopping Mad

Radio Silence
No secret mission Emcon
Lost vehicle code

Mixed Metathors

Thor.

His moves invoked awe.

Whereas Loki

Mastered nowt but the hokey-cokey.

Or do you prefer

Odin

Kept his woad in

Pandora's Box

Along with some odd socks.

Happy 95th

Sharing dementia
Forgetfulness and deafness
An Aged Dailogue

Or do you prefer

Non-verbal being
Deafness and forgetfulness
Aged Ps talking

Oh Dear

One is mortified
For years one's not framed Haiku
To wit: Senryū

Schwarzer Panther

Trinken nebenan
In Kunstoffkino Kneipe
Wetherspoons? Nein dank'!
