Dame Shirley Bassey
Met someone at Manchester train station
Who called her classy,
Then when she arrived in London
She went to a party
And met someone who called her classy.

Nicolas Cage
Painted his bedroom beige
In attempt to
Quell his “moods”.

Eddie Redmayne
Grew a lion’s mane
And roared around the movie set.
He scratched extras with his claws,
Gobbled up horrendous bores
And intimated every actor he met.

Marilyn Manson
Bought a mansion
And filled it with puppies.
What he did with the puppies,
I can’t really say,
But I’m confident each one
Is more than OK.

A drunk Craig Revel Horwood
Went for a cha-cha-cha
But fell in the road
And got hit by a car-car-car

Musician John Paul Jones
Picked up his phone
And tapped the keys
With his finger bones.
He sang aloud
To the clicking sound
And grabbed a pen
To jot the notes down.

Cuba Gooding Jr
Invented the tuna bhuna.
It was gross
And he didn’t sell any.

Ben Kingsley
Cracked his knuckles,
Greased up his head
And prepared himself
For another difficult,
But sexy year.

LeBron James
Burst into flames
But woke up from his horrible dream
And then he burst into flames for real.
It was a terrible ordeal.
