A splendid writer
Splendidly wrote some letters
Rather naughtily.

Paul Hollywood
Shook his own hand
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over again.

Ainsley Harriott
Sprinkled some
Suzie Salt
And Percy Pepper
On his drained self esteem.
Just the trick.

Peter Andre
Enjoyed his entrée
So much he ate another.
And another.
And another.
His three guests were left
Incredibly hungry and frustrated at the table,
So he sang Mysterious Girl for them.
They all went home elated
As he slumped on the sofa;
His belly full of pâté
And his eyes full of tears.

Michael Bolton
Put another coat on
Because the day was a hot one
And he wanted to get his sweat on.

Ric Flair turned 69
And a smutty,
Unimaginative writer
Made a joke about how no-one
Has ever suited an age
That much.
Then he realised
He’d done his maths incorrectly
And Ric was in fact 70.
(Unfortunately.)

8. Can’t believe it’s only Wednesday
9. Not bad, plodding on!

11. Better now it’s Friday!
12. Have a good weekend!
13. Monday? Again?!
