Mr Shouty And Little Miss Pouty

entry picture

Every morning at 6.30
I switch on my TV
Monday to Wednesday
they are live on GMB

His name is Mr Shouty
he is loud with a lot to say
She is Little Miss Pouty
she is perfect in every way

They make a TV couple
often with different views
Tackling current topics
discussing the daily news

Like a dog with a bone
Mr Shouty can't let things go
Little Miss Pouty sits saintly
under her virtual halo

He can be controversial
sometimes a bit too smug
She just rolls her eyes
taking sips from her mug

Mr Shouty and Little Miss Pouty
a new book in their name
The latest characters to obtain
Mr Men and Little Miss fame

Thanks for the likes all and for the comment Stephen G.
I found it quite amusing that they should be chosen to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mr Men books.

I'm not a regular viewer but I know who you mean. Guys like this never seem to be past their sell-by date (or think they're not) - I see Jeremy Clarkson is still going.

Thanks for the poem.
