6/8/19 – Horner
When Geri Horner
Got a cold
She’d say:
“I don’t feel Halliwell.”
It was kind of gibberish
But also kind of made sense.
Either way, it made her feel better.

4/8/19 – Thornton
Billy Bob Thornton
Popped some shorts on
And went for a run.
It started off real fun
But he took a wrong turn
And it soon bloody hurt
Around mile 51,
Little did he know
He was only halfway done.

Martin Sheen’s spleen
Exploded.
Poor bastard.

Animals
Funny and witty
And interesting and life
And painful and eurgh.

2/8/19 – Blue
DJ Jonas Blue
Realised his initials, JB,
Rhymed with his job title DJ.
Only if you said them backwards, of course.
BJ.
DJ.
DJ Jonas Blue
Changed his name to BJ DJ
And was THRILLED when the clever rhyming name
Saw his ticket sales soar.

1/8/19 – Mendes
Director Sam Mendes
Disliked when his friend said
Stuff like: “I really enjoyed Road to Perdition.”
“No you didn’t!”
Mendes would cry. “Shut up!”
Which was a shame,
Because his mate LOVED
Road to Perdition.
He really did.

Pink
Her tiny pink fingernails
rapidly poked all 14
lift buttons.
Chance to see more of the world
I smiled.
No, that’s naughty!
her mum snapped,
leaving the little girl and me
unsure who she was talking to.
