Oprah Winfrey
Changed her name
To Opera Winfrey.
Haha.
She loved the chance
To be a little silly.

But Elijah didn’t
She cried.

Alan Cumming
Heard a humming
All day, every day.
At first it was horrible,
Distracting and frustrating,
Until eventually
He couldn’t stop strumming
To the tune.

Jose Mourinho
Bought a cappuccino
In the middle of the afternoon.
He read the paper
And went for a walk later
Because he really had nothing to do.

Alicia Keys
Broke her knees
After tumbling to the floor.
And from that point on
She was scared of fallin’
That’s for sure.

Neil Diamond wished his surname
Was nominative deterministic,
So he punched his front teeth out,
Cut his big toes off,
Tore his eyeballs out
And replaced them all with diamonds.
He looked awful.

‘Arjen Robben,’ said footballer Arjen Robben.

‘No, I’m Batman,’ said Batman.

‘What?’

‘I’m Batman’

‘I know…’

‘Then why did you ask if I’m Robin?’

‘I didn’t, I said Arjen Rob- oh, very funny.’

Batman laughed at his own joke for many hours.
