The job of poet laureate is coming up and so I thought I'd get my application in early.  It's in rhyme form of course. If you have any pull in that quarter - kindly put a word in for me, there might be a couple of quid in it for you out of the massive pay check that comes with the post.  I'll require evidence that you made the difference though - so carry a dictaphone when you make your secret recommendation and I'll see you alright on receipt of the recordings.

 

Gissajob - go on - you know it makes sense!

I could write a poem for the queen
who luckily rhymes with words like green
I'd have more trouble with a king
his rhymes are dull as anything.

Her Majesty doesn't rhyme at all so it is a fiddle
to find a line to squish those words into the middle
and then rhyme whatever word is at the end
or not rhyme at all - a quite literary trend.

Go on make me poet laureate
give it a whirl
its time they gave the 5000 quid
to a poet what's a girl.
