Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland


Billy Joel did it in We Didn't Start The Fire.  Madonna did it in Vogue.  Inspired by King Charles' cover of the aforementioned Billy Joel classic, an updated version more relevant to the twenty tens, I have tried to do something similar.

Remember the last thirty seconds of You Only Get What You Give by the New Radicals?  You know, 'fashion shows with Beck and Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson'?  Try and read the below in the same style as that.

Kate is pregnant, Harry's naked, David Cameron love to hate him,
Downton Abbey, who won Strictly?  Olympics comes and goes too quickly,
Glastonbury, Bieber fever, Moyles succeeded by Nick Grimshaw,
Benefits, and Philpotts’ lying, Leveson will stop you prying,
BNP, don’t trust the Euro, no tax if you find a loophole,
Thatcher’s funeral, David Beckham, beef lasagne might need checking!

Maybe I'm a poet who just didn't know it?
