FUN BUS HQ to WOL HQ

Re Fake News

 

Preamble

Press FUN BUS tag for all FUN BUS activities

 

This poem was ready for press

Before Graham's poem was sighted

We're pleased with his change of direction

Which before was a little bit blighted

 

We detect a great softening at WOL

Headquarters, for Don and our BUS

They whipped 'round for a new set of tyres

Said they won't let him go without fuss

 

We apologise Graham if we've jumped

The gun a bit, 'fore reading you

But our poem was rolling the presses

Sorry, there was nothing we could do

 

The gang here at FUN BUS HQ

Are getting just a little concerned

That news which is going round the site

Is news that which really should be burned

 

This news does report that the wheels

Do keep falling off our really nice FUN BUS

Which undermines each, every WOL'er

Their confidence in our BUS and us

 

We know of one leader who does

Disseminate what we know as fake news

We'd like to however think that you

At WOL HQ always prints the trues

 

We think you are, Graham, playing games

And pulling at all WOL'ers ribs

And baiting our poor Aussie Don

By telling all these made-up porky fibs

 

Don't underestimate our Aussie Don

He knows all about playing games

They breed them real tough in Australia

From where our Don, yes, he did came

 

He takes a little battering with ease

And opponents lie back, think he's fried

He then comes back, wham, does a knockout

With froggie soldier's help by his side

 

ribbit....(fire away Don)

 

This person who's been writing fake news

At WOL, must have pretty good use

His first name is 'Anon' (bit unusual?)

Middle name 'Y' ? with a surname of 'mous' ?

 

Our BUS cannot lose any wheels (fake newser)

It's virtual, exists only on screen

Just open your mind and come ride it

Come with us to where you've not been

 

Although we both spar heavily

There's one thing we do both agree

Poetic license it is essential

If fun is to enter poetry

FUN BUS UPDATE

 

Don't forget our next trip coming up. 'The Great Alliteration Contest' between Don M and Brian M. We hear they both have been practising madly.  Brian has had to dust off all his Alan Poe books for inspiration.  Don simply draws on his vast background of knowledge.

 

Despite having no loo the BUS is free. And has a bar. And Tina and Gina. (cheers all round).  (Graham is welcome provided he agrees not to spread fake news)

 

Ring the bell referee....ding, ding, ding..
