Pandora has a big black box.
Woe the day she turns on FOX.
May she then begin again
and turn the switch to CNN,
or better still, to the BBC.
While hope remains
 all shadows flee....

Give us the quick fix
The easy way out
A heady dose of
Instant gratification
And we'll forget about 
The intellectual annihilation
Of sixty second news 
On BBC Three
Then prime-time karaoke
From deadbeats on ITV...

It is not a discouraging word
but, according to one, is a turd.
F-A-R-T

and in Parliament should seldom be heard

Two seamen sought to sail the sea
to see the seething sea, you see.
This could have happened in B.C.
but no — they saw the modern sea.
In 2023 A.D.
the sea was like the sea B.C.
which is unlike the CBC
with no connection to the sea
but somewhat like the BBC
which does resemble the B.C.
without the extra C., you see?

Killing each other

Whether Christian or Muslim 

A crime against God!

The Durex Company’s fearing the worst
Non latex condoms are now known to burst
There’s a product recall
Hope they can trace them all ...
Or unplanned babies may need to be nursed!

Inspired by this newspaper article - n.b it's only certain products which are sold in the UK and Ireland

A person I am
Am I a he or a she?
That’s the ing question!
From gender, I feel free.

Don’t dare call me mister
Or refer to me as miss;
I don’t recognise any of it
Whatever you call me I dismiss.

I am neither there nor here
My life is bleak, forever austere.

Inspired by Helen MacDonald when I heard here story on Desert Island Disc on BBC Four ...

A Small Respite
~~~

Yesterday
I watched a child at play
and I recalled times of joy long past
of a happiness known but too fragile to last
like a sweet golden dream that I fought to hold fast
for a moment I was young again
bright sun shone through my pain
then came rain

This marine creature grew to as much as ten meters in length.
It had jaws that displayed amazingly quick strength.
A heavily armored fish that thrived in the primeval seas,
this predator could make mince meat out of its adversaries.
All members of this species are extinct and have gone away.
We should be thankful this deadly fish does not live today.

From a BBC report

Yesterday, on the 20th of March 2016 on the BBC,
On The Andrew Marr Show about politics weekly,
I did see Ian Duncan-Smith, government member,
Say something that upset me, I do remember.

“I am not morality, I leave that to church men.” 
But can't anyone decide what makes you a christian?
I understand evolution, and that gives me values, 
Sets standards and boundaries for thanks and dues....

There was a man:

He Rob the bank

And stole the cash

He shot a tank

And off he dash.

Across the street 

And Into the town

He ran bare feet

Like a funny clown ??

The BBC never saw his face

The radio house never heard his voice

The papers had a blank space

The witness were all false.

Up and coming

I wrote with pen

Now everyone is asking

Who wrote this poem....

Remember all the adventures we had Mrs. Peel?
Emma, they seemed like fantasy, but they were quite real.
Each week, we were retributive against crime.
In all our escapades, we had a hell of a time.
The years passed by for both you and me.
Our episodes were proudly displayed by the BBC.
I believe I still have enough vigour and energy.
Let’s get back together and reappear on the telly.

When sun turned to gold
We sipped at our cold
Sauternes.
Perfectly controlled,
Hand in hand we strolled
Through ferns.

So Fortune’s wheel turns
And the flame that burns
So hot,
To ash it returns.
In the end one learns,
So what? 



the form is Virelai Anciens
( 2 lines of five syllables followed by one line of 2. Repeated to make a 6 line stanza 
with a rhyme scheme of AAB AAB, BBC BBC,)

folk dance in the streets
trying to find a ‘fake’ wren  -

I’ve lived here for many years but have never witnessed this tradition but it is very popular and held in various locations across our little island. It is also celebrated in Ireland

...Actually polish with a furniture polish...
Not use it as an air freshener.
...Notice the surrounding wildlife...
Pick any room of your house.
...Finally do laundry...
And separate the colors.
...Strike up a conversation...
With that wrong number.
...Assign page numbers...
To the Internet.
...Watch a special on Hawking theories...
Then call the BBC to argue a point.
...Write a nonsensical toss-off...
Next day, it still makes sense.

You're absolutely Human...
