The first thing that I saw today,
Green Eggs and Hamlet was okay,
it was the plot of Hamlet, though
in rhyming couplets – quite a show.
Then next came Kevin Eldon‘s act,
Titting About as point of fact,
Some very witty repartee,
Mention of owl and stuck CD,
A part in French that was most awesome,
Not to mention all the poem(s).
The hum’rous tale by Jess’ca Ransom,
Played she parts all very handsome,
Give away a million pound(s),
“To whom” she asked, and seeked, and found,
From dog lido to Geordie hunter,
Harborne pub to biscuit dunker.
(Her opening music I did ask,
was Buble’s River, she unmasked.)
Last of the day was Stewart Lee,
launching his book for all to rea(d),
With special guests, you understand,
like Eldon and Franz Ferdinand,
Rich Herring heckled, climbed the stage,
Was it all planned, or fake outrage?
Frank Chicken even made the bill,
(go vote for them); was all quite brill.
I say this post has been absurd,
It is shorter in count of word,
But it did take so long to do,
I think I now do need the loo.
Very impressive! And so I do think
Perchance you’ve had too much to drink?
I think you mean, for scansion:
“Very impressive! I do think
Perchance you’ve had too much to drink?”
And no, I don’t think drink would make my ability to rhyme any better 😉
