A LIMERICK FOR EUROPE?
We have received the following limericks anonymously. As with any humour, they're not to be taken too seriously, although there's a saying "Many a true word spoken in jest".
They do rather sum up popular impressions of the EU quite well...
* * * * *
'Europe Minister' Alexander
Saw 'thirty grand' pounds being squandered
As his Presidency logo
Turned out to be 'No-Go'
When the Bruges Group's was used in a blunder!
* * * * *
A young bureaucrat called Claude
Uncovered a great Brussels fraud -
Gave OLAF a ring
But they can't do a thing
Cos everyone else is 'on board'!
* * * * *
The EU project's poor health
Hasn't affected its fat cats' wealth.
The Hampton Court1 junket
Means they haven't sunk it -
Drink to 'federal Europe by stealth'.
The French and the Dutch in a temper
On Turkey becoming a member.
Tony's budget rebate
Continues to grate
So he'll give it away in December...
* * * * *
Peter Mandelson's in a fix
Over import quotas for 'knicks'
His transvestite clones
Like their cheap women's clothes
But now they must wait till '06
