Elephant Limerick
Desist from your rave and your rant,
But indulge in hypocrisy and cant.
Dead Yemenis are boring,
Europeans, alluring.

Etonian Gaslighters
But sir, it wasn’t us, it’s so unfair,
We’ve only been in power for nigh twelve years,
It was our friend le Putain, over there,

At times even daylight is dawning
When the elephants tramp home to their bed.
But real jumbos are famously quiet,
