Elizabeth Moss,
That one from Mad Men,
Laid on a rock.
It cheered her up without fail.
It cheered her up
More than Handmaid’s Tale.

Woody Harrelson
Started calling his wife “Bo Peep”
And his best mate “Buzz”.
They humoured him to keep him happy,
But when he tore his dog in half
And screamed “SLINKY”,
They had to have a word.

Willem Dafoe
Had to go to the loo
So did so with reckless abandon.
It was quite the performance.

Paloma Faith felt great.
Really great.
As great as a plate of chocolate cake,
A battered hake,
A Cadbury Flake
An unused garden rake.
So not really great,
But pretty darn great.

Carlos Santana
Turned a banana
Into a guitar.
Don’t ask me specifics,
Just know that
It was amazing.

Brian May
Legally changed
His name
To ‘Queen’.
It was only
A matter of time.

Kristen Bell thought
‘What the hell!’
And moved the r
From before the i
To after it.

A yellow light
used to shine
through my parents’
living room.
Our cat
loved it.
I liked watching her
move closer to the window
as the sun
gradually moved
over our house
and disappeared,
leaving her
alone in the shade
as we all sat
in the conservatory
missing her.
