Brave Sir Barack (with apologies to Monty Python)
Brave Sir Barack ran away
Bravely, ran away...away...
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Barack turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Barack
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering off
And chickening out and running off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge.

THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE
by
Benny Hill
They said that it could not be done,
He said, “Just let me try.”
They said, “Other men have tried and failed,”
He answered, “But not I.”
They said, “It is impossible,”
He said, “There’s no such word.”
He closed his mind, he closed his heart...
To everything he heard.
He said, “Within the heart of man,
There is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms,
It’s called the ‘Will to Succeed.’
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope,
Its petals inspiration,
Its thorns protect its strong green leaves,
With grim determination.
Its stamens are its skills
Which help to shape each plan,
For there’s nothing in the universe
Beyond the scope of man.
They thought that it could not be done,
Some even said they knew it,
But he faced up to what could not be done...
...AND HE COULDN’T BLOODY DO IT!!
