The Old Bill
Bill Shakespeare is wanted for hate speech,
His study’s surrounded with tape.
The local police were slow to react,
He may already have made his escape.
There’s a chance that he’s gone into hiding
To work on the draft of a play;
Anne Hathaway helps with enquiries:
Where’s old Bill? She’s refusing to say.
She cannot abide the intrusion,
As detectives examine each sonnet,

Guess Who's Back, Offence and Pain Aint Two of the Same
Who'd have thought words make them react like this,
failing to see my wit, just the unattractiveness.
An eye for crudeness that'll overpower the humorous.
I'm sure within their brain a tumour lives.
Has your face ever felt the force of a fist?
It'll twist your perception like a contortionist,
because offence and pain aint two of the same.
One requires staples

Here bought and sold only universal follies
Uniqueness is disregarded and an offence is taken

Taking Offence
People are so easily offended today
This is quite ironic really
As due to political correctness
We are censored so heavily
And with all the sanitising
There is so little opportunity

Fall into three distinct categories
Firstly, the genuinely offended
Those who feel the detriment,
Whose opinion is seldom heard
Unless it’s politically expedient
Second, the white middle class

No Offence
I Sidney C Hall
Have decided to stop writing
The funnies and offending you all
There will be no chicken eyed stare
Or talks of underwear
No farts,
Butts
Or mention of tarts
My comments will be just
Not talk of sizes in bust
For this I truly say
This is the last day
I have been naughty and bad
And now I am sad
