Jada Pinkett Smith
Could never quite scratch
Her trinket itch.
Whenever she saw one
She had to buy it.
She had loads.
Seriously, a dangerous amount.

Baz Luhrmann
Took a German
For a drive in his car.
They went slow,
They went fast,
They went really far.
And when Baz asked:
“You like?”
The German smiled
And said: “Ja.”

Amy Poehler drank a drink that was cola,
Used some skates that were roller,
Brushed her tooth that was molar,
Watched an eclipse that was solar,
Saw a bear that was polar,
Replaced some ink that was toner
And went to bed all aloner.

Tom Hardy could hardly believe
His luck.
He was hit hard by the truck
But was perfectly alive.
His neck and back and hands and eyes and face and legs and arms and fingers and toes and knees and ears and elbows and chin
Were all broken,
But my word he felt lucky.
(And a bit sick, too)

Sam Neill loved to squeal.
He’d squeal in the morning.
He’d squeal in the evening.
He’d squeal when he was happy.
He’d squeal when he was sad.
He’d squeal when he was being good.
He’d squeal when he was being bad.
He didn’t quite know why he loved to squeal
But I suspect it’s because it rhymed with his surname, Neill.

Niall Horan
Was called a moron
By a stranger in the street.
He was angry.
He was fuming.
He was hotter than the hottest heat.
He screamed: “I’m not a moron!”
And stormed off in a huff,
Before realising
He was wearing mittens on his feet.

I’m a quarter of an inch shorter than I was in 2012 (weirdly)
Babies look cuter
And I want one
I pack way more than I need
I’ve got less hair on my head
More hair on my chest
(Even more in my nose and ears)
I rarely watch new films
And find comfort in repeats
People are incredibly opinionated
I get way more shit stuck in my gums
I dance a bit less
I sing loads more
The sun (ball in the sky) is less stressful for me
The Sun (newspaper) is really stressful for me
Shampoo is very expensive
My scalp is grateful
I’m less proud of myself
But more comfortable saying so
Vegetables are a main ingredient
I ask more questions
I’m closer to touching my toes
If I like something, I admit it
If I hate something, I’m more delicate
I celebrate others as much as I can
My floorboards creak louder
I stretch more
I smile less
But laugh more heavily
I feel safer
I’ve found my tribe

Jason Statham was a bit of a stats man.
But only when it came to ham.
He had stats about the whole pig, in fact.
Like, number of bacons you get in a pack,
Or how many sausages you get in a pack,
Or how much gammon you get in a pack.
Yeah, it’s true,
Jason Statham was a real stats man
But only when it came to ham.
