'Your dog got lost, you got distraught
You plastered posters all round town
The dog was found and it was fine
High time - you took those posters down
Ruth Gould’s been out every evening
Ruth Gould has got pneumonia....' #HMHB

'I’ve been goading D-list Paul Ross for a laugh
By unloading, outside what he’d call his 'gaff'
Old fridge-freezers; (doors all removed like we’re told)
His face at the window on waking: a sight to behold' #HMHB

The charming lark, the country chime
Smite this faithless pantomime
Welcome to the daylight at the back of my mind...' #HMHB

'I was a pain in the diocese
A heap of strife for my folks
But then I got me a faithlift
Now I'm the man with the jokes
Ho ho!

'The fearsome hollow boom of the older boys in the deep end
The green shoots of recovery shrivelled up in harsh tomorrow
Left to pick dry sticks and mumble to myself
A melancholy emblem of parish cruelty... ' #HMHB

'No more caterwauling in a minor key
You’re gonna have to croon about the Zuiderzee
And its total reclamation by 2003
Now you’ve got wads of the stuff
Now you got national acclaim' #HMHB
