SERIAL – SET
When Britain was proudly imperial, As I saw in a dramatized serial, They set Empire Day In the fourth week of May And sang jingoistic material.

It's all gotten lost in the shuffle From the epi-pan-demic kerfluffle But as Bonn is shut down By that virus-with-crown We are forced to eat French-fried Kartoffel.

HOPPER - HOUSE
Reminiscences from years past -
Planetarium roof was all copper which grew a patina on topper And the boiler for steam Was a little boy's dream Being fueled by coal from a hopper

Great statesmen possess the capacity For subtle strategic mendacity. But, as with good spies, Their tactical lies May have a small grain of veracity.

Task: write a limerick involving Leeds, Scotland
I have to get soil for my seeds. It's one of my very few needs. And I really don't care For a boat on the Aire,* But I'm told that all loam's rowed to Leeds.
*the River Aire is the waterway through Leeds

"I'm looking for Leeds", said a gent; I wasn't sure which one he meant. "Not Yorkshire!" he said With a look of sheer dread, "The one with the castle – in Kent".

SECOND – SEIZE

One zoo kept an area free Of bushes, so people could see A small armadillo Emerge from a willow And eat its quotidian tea.

Trump's presence is very obtrusive; I wish he were much more reclusive. His thorough pervasion Of every occasion Makes many opponents abusive.
