TEXTED – THEATRICAL
An actor friend texted me thus: "Ah, Brexit's the ruin of us! Alas and alack! Our future is black!" He makes a theatrical fuss.

A picturesque village was quiet Till hunger drove peasants to riot. One hurled a sharp knife At the squire and his wife When they told him to go on a diet.

re: "Well out of date" - July 8, I see. Here's a slight modification (without the LETTERS):
I recently bought lemonade, Then I checked to see when it was made. Took a very long time Just to get to where I'm - No wonder the stuff had decayed!
And now, if you please, we'll proceed.

ENCOURAGE – ENDURING
To encourage poor folk in the Blitz Whom stress nearly robbed of their wits, The King and the Queen Remained on the scene, Enduring the Luftwaffe's hits.

Hospitable folk are a treasure; They welcome the homeless with pleasure. While others shrug sourly, They throw money hourly To beggars, and smile for good measure.

Events have again proved the verity That war causes debt and austerity. With peace comes the chance Of a rapid advance And a welcome return to prosperity.

Some people like vigorous rambling, While others prefer gentle ambling. Real idlers smoke fags And end up in rags Through constant indulgence in gambling.

The publishing world's in a hurry; The need to be prompt causes worry. The schedule's too tight To proofread books right; The deadlines make everyone scurry.
