Went to Wrexham.
He was all alone,
Missed his family at home
So grabbed his phone to text ‘em.

Not funny poo poo.
But in truth
She felt funny haha
Because she’d just had
A funny poo poo.

And had a little cry.

Daniel Day-Lewis
Watched Game of Thrones
A day after everyone else.
He was so upset by the spoilers
But played the role of someone who didn’t care
Very well.
