Drinking Electricity (Sonnet)
One sonnet is too short to tell the charms
Of the creature with a head and but two arms
Yet shall a single syllable suffice
To freeze your blood and turn your spleen to ice
If you take Peter Mandelson's advice
You'll never make overtures to mice...
O! Murine overtures beneath the palms
So noisy that they set off car alarms
I've suffered from them more than once or twice
You really can't combine music and mice
- They're just about as tuneful as Posh Spice -
That murine beat is just not very nice!
But since I never claim I wrote the psalms
I cannot tell you of the creature's charms
