THE NEW YEAR NEWS
UNFURLS!
A Constitutional
Crisis, the Fall of the British Empire and
the collapse of
the Stock Exchange are likely following
the Queen’s
non-attendance at Sandringham Church
on
New Year’s Day because of a heavy recurring
cold.
Poor
Liz, ‘was not oneself’, so Phil,
Went to
church on his tod, (1)
To
partake in the usual,
Obeisance to ‘one’s God’;
A
practice, that increasingly,
Is
looking somewhat odd!
And the
Archbosh of Cant was at,
His own
ablutions too,
In
asking for a, “Christ-like world”, (2)
From
his declining few;
A myth
that the majority,
Have
seen completely through.
The
Honours List brought sanity,
‘Cos
when it was unfurled,
Miss
Beckham was an OBE,
So,
‘All’s right with the world’;
As now
her ‘fabrications’ will,
Continue to be twirled!
“For
services to fashion”, quoth
The
List most civilly,
With
naught about the profits made,
From
each excessive fee; (3)
That’s
earned by all of us in (quote)
‘Our
fashion industry’!
This
New Year’s going be the same,
I feel
it in my bones,
We’ll see a swarm of selfies snapped,
On many mobile phones;
And
read the usual trash about,
These
useless social drones!
(1) After the
service, the Duke (as President Emeritus
of the World
Wildlife Fund) went pheasant shooting.
(2) Welby called
for social harmony after the Brexit
Vote.
(3) Miss Beckham’s
latest fashion line is thought to
be
worth £60m. Her family wealth totals
£508m.
