Magpie 136


A tabloid newspaper holds an editorial meeting to select an image for its front page



That could be Prince Harry in a wig
On the right. But the bottom's too big.
We can't use the duck,
And the plane is too - plain.
The whirlpool is rubbish.
It's, frankly, insane.
I've run out of ideas now. To be honest, it's
A terrible shame we've no shots of Kate's t**s.

(with thanks to Tess at Magpie Tales for the picture)

    1. It's only because I'm incapable of writing serious verse, Linda. I only wish I could!

  3. You play well with others it seems
    spinning yarns and twine and string
    out of bits and t**s.
