Angela Merkel
hangs her drawers in a circle
to keep out Berlusconi
when he's feeling boney

Christopher Hitchens
spent his working life bitching
about various shits
while he sucked up to Bush and Paul Wolfowitz

Nick Clegg
is a curious egg.
He's cool and comported
as his party get slaughtered.

Nicolas Sarcozy
is incurably dozy
He's toujours a l'attaque
while he naps in a sack.

Victoria Beckham
won't smile for a second.
Her grimace conceals
intestinal eels.

Vladimir Putin
likes trappin' and shootin'
He casts off his togs
when wrestling hogs.

Tim Tebow
Seems to know
Somehow, though the rest of us may smirk, that the man upstairs
Cares.

Tim Tebow
has a muscular elbow
He believes-us
that he's throwing to Jesus.

Joe Konrath
Got stuck in the bath
But his rubber ducky
Had an internet connection, which was lucky

A Kardashian named Kim
Got married on a whim
Though some would say out of spite
Family skeletons dragged proudly into the limelight

The Gingrich called Newt
Is a clever old coot.
He raves and he rants
And never (well, hardly ever) wets his pants.

Big Ben Roethlisberger is a tough football player
Not renowned for on-field prayer
if he saw this thread, he might think, "It's times
like these I'm grateful my surname doesn't have many rhymes"

Priene is mucho erudite
and succinct: he's ne'er a blatherskite
what's more, as are many of mine, his deities
are musicians from the Eighties

The would-be poet in a hat
Is an experienced old hack.
A scribbler in a garret throughout his May years
He's now looking back without shedding tears.

Charles Dickens
Kept chickens
And didn't mind their clucking
For it stopped his books from sucking

John Terry
is peculiar, very.
He hoofs and he punts
and calls fellow footballers '****s'

Shane Warne
has the air of a fawn
with his newly-grown locks
and face stuffed with skin-cream and botox

Johnson, Mitchell
makes the cricket pitch hell.
His directionless bouncers
are a threat to announcers.

Ian Botham
is a cricketing totem.
He fires and sparks
and he likes to punch Aussies in car parks

Mary Shelley
Made jelly
From parts of a dead squid and a dead ape
And told people it was grape.

Louis Quinze
Occasionally went to Reims
To amuse himself, but at Versailles he had more than enough amour
With Madame Pompadour.

Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama
Once went to Alabama.
No one knew them there,
So the two suggested to hand the state into Cuban care.

the gullible fool
took control of the Binners
where they scoffed him for dinner

The Brothers Koch
Think it's oke
To buy American companies, close them, put thousands out of work and send all the jobs overseas
With ease.

James Murdoch
has his mind in a block
He doesn't know who, when or where, it's a shame
but whatever transpired, he isn't to blame
