  Being Buckingham Palace's guest
  Didn't mean Donald Trump had impressed
  Her late Majesty, nay—
  If it's true what they say,
  'Very Rude' is how Trump was assessed!

   Windy

   Windy weather may not be on tap,
   If a hurricane's shown on your map.
   Nor need temps be so high
   Data centers would fry—
   You've been using the Beeb's weather app!

  I enjoy a good scare, but I fear,
  Hallowe'en wasn't all it appeared,
  Making nobody scared,
  Anticlimax compared
  With the scares in the Budget this year!

  Kemi's surname's first syllable may,
  On TV, be pronounced the wrong way.
  Why has nobody checked
  Which effect is correct?
  Should it sound like a baa or a bay?

   Cinch

   Conversation's a cinch to entice
   If your chat's on a smartphone device—
   Not entombed in a pink
   Case submerged in a rink,
   Having no means of breaking the ice!

   English Church teaching: faith means to be-
   Lieve what cannot be seen—
   But does not also mean
   You can then not believe what you see!

  Oil-rich Azerbaijan barely plods
  Towards reaching net zero: the odds
  Of success aren't the most
  Hopeful when the COP host
  Touts the oil as a gift of the gods!


  (Thursday 21st November, 2024 in the Daily Mail)
 
  Said Joe Biden, 'I've pardoned my son
  For felonious deeds with a gun.
  Don't you think it is clear
  I did not interfere
  With the way in which justice was done?'

  As the planet increasingly warms,
  We must weather new seasonal norms.
  We're already on D:
  Are we going to see
  A whole alphabet's worth of named storms?
