Falstaff
And give the shins of lovers a smite.

From next door, there's an awfully loud din
Raak
As the neighbours play drums on their bin
Stevie
With saucepan lid cymbals
Software
Played loud with thimbles
Marc
While I jam on my old mandolin.
(Hi George!)

There once was a talented writer
penelope
Whose fans thought her such a delighter
CdM
That at her book signing
Pablo
They just stood there, pining
Stevie
For the off-chance they each might just sighter

These new Kindle e-book hacks suck

On lemons as they write their muck
Rosie
The resulting acidity
crap scansion
Software
Ends in lividity
Raak
At the rubbish you get for your buck.
Marc
Five Bitcoins I've got in my purse
Software
They're better than cash - quite perverse
Pablo
For they're not really real

Though easy to steal
Juxtapose
They're easy to spend, and that's worse.
Marc
There's a hole in my new christmas sock
Giertrud
That fits snugly around my cock

When inside my britches

So I line it with large leaves of dock.
Moving swiftly on...
Raak
Let us think of the coming New Year
Rosie
And deck ourselves out in flash gear
Marc
And I promise you this
penelope
I won't take the piss
sorrysorrysorry - it was asking to be done
Pablo
Which means that I won't be a Peer
(Claims Worst Pun of 2018 So Far Award)
Marc
Now I've shuffled the deck - will you deal?
Pablo
With twenty-five cards? You for real?
Superman
With no aces or kings
penelope
We've no arrows nor slings
Rosie
But fortune outrageous, I feel.
Pablo
So, now the New Year's under way
and no naval types try to tell me it's "weigh" please...
Stevie
And I've

caped the vile Opus Dei
If we are talking the Warring States period of China, it could be "under Wei"
Marc
So our future is bright
Raak
To pursue the good fight
Rosie
To bury Theresa May.
Dujon
There are Tories and Whigs at my door
Seeing as we are going political
Marc
In big herds never seen heretofore
Rosie
For
Tandridge
foments
chance'd be a fine thing
Superman
'Midst back bench laments

Where he laid out his tea

At a quarter past three

There once was a thinker named Kant
Superman
Who encountered a large ele
phant

Which viewed him suspiciously

Then charged him quite viciously
Hidden text
That vicious and viscous won't get me again like it did at my 8th grade spelling bee!
Stevie
Hence

.
CdM
When I was a child in 8th grade
KagomeShuko
My one wish was to see a parade
Pablo
Where the Grenadier Guards

Would light their
petards

And put Manneken Pis in the shade.
Dujon
He made once a shocking mistake
Rosie
Confusing the clutch with the brake
Software
The resulting collision

Caused a minor division

Of his spine which then gave him a backache.
Rosie
When the moon goes into eclipse
Dujon
As it orbits its usual elipse
Raak
Its super blue blood
Pablo
Turns the colour of mud
Marc
The same colour as Aunt Hilda's lips...
Marc
Her lips filled with Botox were blue
Dujon
Like those of my other aunt, Sue
Pablo
And her daughter, young Shelley,
Stevie
(Who's been on the telly)
Bismarck
Got the same effect from a tattoo.
Raak
It will soon be St Valentine's Day
Marc
And every chaste maiden cries HOORAY!
Dujon
But a bunch of dead roses
penelope
Shoved under their noses
Software
Won't take their chasteness away
Kim
[Software]: "chase", surely?
Juxtapose
I once, in the season of Lent,
Superman
Spent thirty-nine days in a tent:
penelope
Eating corned beef and beans
Pablo
With a helping of greens
Raak
And sat with my bum to the vent.
penelope
On the last day of Lent I gave in
Pablo
I was getting quite dangerously thin
Raak
So I binged on ice cream
Stevie
"Wild thinged" the whole team
Software
Then threw up in the bin
LimCopper
And then threw it all up in the bin.
Pablo
Could today be the first day of Spring?
Juxtapose
We'll know just by checking one thing:
Raak
Has the groundhog appeared?
Marc
If he has he is weird!
Software
If not his hook he can sling
penelope
There's never much snow on the ground
Pablo
At least, not where I'm to be found
Raak
In far Timbuctu
Software
Where I sit on the loo
Rosie
Performing while folks gather round.
blamelewis
I once met a chap in Tibet
Superman
Who flew around on a car
pet
Marc
Levitation you know
Raak
Is a nodding dog's show

to be a small stuffed animal sitting on the parcel shelf.
Pablo
Well, just how kitsch can you get?
Stevie
There was a young man from Goonhilly
Family Show

Superman
Who did something ever so silly

At old Jodrell Bank
Careful now...

To go jingle my bells with a will

As I ride on my sleigh

As I did Christmas day
Santa
Now it's over - please hand me that pill...
Stevie
Left hand down a bit. All stop. REVERSE!
