When the pen takes control.

Remember the days of George, Bungle and Zippy

these characters were an obvious recipe

for a programme for children’s TV

which I am sure the producers could see

would be one of the best on BBC

Seizing a crown takes

grit and determination

dawn of destiny

I used to have a friend called Jacko

he enjoyed a pipe of tobacco

smoking it in church he would sit aloof

but the priest, he banished him to the roof

where grinning he sits by himself and cackles

There’s one sure thing I hear you say

guaranteed to flummox and dismay

we can only look on in disgust

as those on whose news reports we trust

spend their public financed time reporting

quite trivial items that have become quite boring

There’s been no rain for most of the year

and the signs of it are very clear

we went for a walk around the town

and noticed that everyone’s lawns were brown

because there had been quite a drought

no one was allowed to get hoses out

and with the lack of rain clouds in the sky

the chance of showers seems very slight

if you find the situation strange

get used to it, it’s climate change.
