The Jaffa Cake Controversy

entry picture
Part One - Unforgivable
 
Beyond all rhyme and reason
Utterly beyond the pale
To be denounced in any season
A complete and utter FAIL
 
Eleven million watched in awe
Some driven to rage and shock
So many scarred by what they saw
But you can't turn back the clock
 
'Twas the graceless act of a savage
Of an ogre and a fool
Before he causes any more damage
Let's send him back to school
 
Or perhaps we ought to lock him up?
That might bring some relief
Keep him away from Jaffas and tea cups
Save us all from further grief
 
We need an apology from this pest
For the bitterness he's left in the mouth
I think our Mary said it best
"We don't do that in the South"
 
 
Part Two - In Defence
 
He's no brute and he's no caveman
Just a guy who likes his tea
I think he's quite a brave man
With his dunking controversy
 
I'm with him - as there comes a time
To stand up for your right
To dip into your fine cuppa
Whatever you reckon will delight
 
Now I myself go for bourbons
Or digestives, or hobnobs
I'd never thought of plunging Jaffas
As they're too soft for the job
 
But I'm reviewing that opinion
He's an expert, after all
He's really got me thinking
So, I'm saying "Thankyou, Paul"
 
McVitie’s say he's in the wrong
But I'd like to see their proof
And I know they're really smiling
As the sales go through the roof

Another zinger David!

but:

Even if the dunk was quite shallow
It was right to grow angry and hot.
(Had it been chocolate marshmallow
The fool might have got himself shot)
