The Lyrics
With the news of the imminent shutdown of submissions, I (Pippin) thought I had better pull my thumb out and get these into cyberspace while there was still time. I had been waiting for Merry to leave work and start doing parodies again, but this ship is sailing before hers. So, this is one of a number of submissions over the next few days that have been sitting in the vault - most for over 10 years.

It's slow news week
Glum: as stories disappear
And life in general’s quite austere
No planes fell from the sky
It's slow news week
No-one drowned and God forbid
No felons fled, no giant squid
No dirt, it has run dry
Nowt for TV crews
To their dismay
Who, famous, strayed?
Ho-hum, are leaked dossiers...
It's slow news week
No sex scandals did unfold
By politicians uncontrolled
Did not transgress or cheat
It's slow news week
Gotta find a turn of phrase
For high-rise units well ablaze
To keep us in Grub Street
It's slow news week
No-one’s let off bombs nowhere
Can’t put the skids on no careers
No matter how we try
It's slow news week
No old bags that are long-lived
No outrage, yeah, it’s all damp squib
No space junk fell from sky
No Covid on cruise
No castaways
No riots, race
No celebs with legs asplay
No-one’s drowning in the bay
It's slow news week
No flash floods or hatred (wow)
No stars broke up for broken vows
No mugged men in the street
It's slow news week
No planes hiding stowaways
Or firestorm-closed motorways
No druggie-laced athletes
Or love-rats found to cheat
The media’s got the sheets...
