Actor Ricky Garcia
Grew a third ear.
He loved how clear
It helped him hear.
In truth, work slowed down
Just a little that year.

Billy Ocean
Went for a swim in the sea.
He liked melting into water,
Sea salt dancing across his skin,
Peering down at the spines of fish
And dreaming of a simpler time.
Plus, after a day of sunbathing,
It was an easy way
To get sand out your bum bum.

Rainn Wilson
Found it funn to put
An extra n in some words
Annd not others.
Not all the time,
Only whenn
He was feeling cheeky
Or boredn.

Jenson Button
Went for a slow, relaxing walk.
It felt nice.
It felt different.
It felt boring as fuck.

Pep Guardiola
Bought a pergola
For 72 million pounds
And slotted it in
The middle of a back three.
It didn’t do too bad, surprisingly.

Michelle Obama
Bought a llama
And dressed it up
Like a costume drama.
Not really.

Lin-Manuel Miranda
Sat down to write a new musical.
He started with possible titles:
The Pig Who Ate Figs,
Trouser Leg,
Disco Sauce,
A Little Bit Trifle,
Arse!,
Mr Crab,
Motorway Punch-Up,
It was a long, long morning.

Shane McMahon
Hurt his arm merely
Reaching for a sandwich.
“Just my luck,” he thought.

Carl Weathers popped a
‘Weathered’ by Creed CD
In his DVD player
And had a terribly confusing hour.

Shonda Rhimes with limes
Is a sight to be hold,
She pops whole ones in her gob
When she’s writing wicked lines.
