Tandoori or Tangerine Tan shorts no5 final jive

Still hope we can cope

With the nope

Don’t give a damn plan

From that Tandoori tan

Obscene Tangerine dope

Jackanory Mandarin Man


That trope..like to be Pope

Go out on a limb..got the vim..scope 

To make him of the grim...dim..whim..mope

Just give Mr Grope enough Rope


Opined women..a frump 

If they mind.. some bump & grind

Half inching while pinching their rump


The darkness descends


Besotted with anything cosseted

Rotted or garrotted by design

But sign on the dotted line

Raise a 'Stein" of wine


Knaves..slaves.. saved

From the craze & blaze 

Of this moral maze & haze

Extinguished by depraved waves 

From distinguished graves


Denies his demise is nigh

Popularity sky high he lies


Bliss as the remiss abyss 

Of hiss and diss ends

Thanks to a sly bit of 

Wry Fab Four rapport


No not you say hello...but yes I say goodbye

Off with his head the French might have said

Cos we've read we'll get by instead 

With a little help from his (dead) friends
