Verse and worse

Nintendo and its boss have been plagued by their loss
And the shareholders themselves are exceedingly cross
They'll run past the steeple
As they sing: ``Wii the people''.

  3. Johnny played a game on Wii
    It had become his family
    His mother hung her head in shame
    Why did I ever buy this game

  4. Books get my vote every time, Johnny.

    Very kind of you to ask. Yes, the second novel was published by Penguin in March.

    Thank you for your kind words.

  6. We heard the case of a kid who developed tennis elbow. She does not play tennis - but the condition flared up because she was playing Wii tennis!

  8. Nintendo's boss is not a happy bunny
    Because his firm has lost a lot of money
    The shareholders are wearing a huge frown
    Because their profits are 'way down'.
    They thumped the table and demanded Wii
    Sales for the games had plunged from record high.
    They said, "Mate we are showing you the door
    . . because the share price is going through the floor!"

  10. This time I'll admit defeat
    Your rhymes are just so neat
    You've become somewhat of a bard
    And to follow this is hard
    It's certainly difficult to compete.

  11. You know I really want to play
    But since my blog has gone astray
    I must confess
    My brain's a mess
    Like soggy, mushy puree
    [still can't find the accent aigu]

  12. There once was a Station from Sony
    That wanted to Play like a Pony
    But something went bong
    The version was wrong
    Now it sits moping and lonely.
