No need to be prophetic,
To see these products are pathetic.
If the customer is always right,
K. C’s must be lacking sight.
Manipulating multiple fears of ageing,
With the stunts these c*nts are staging,
We see marketing strategists rampaging,
Gullible attention spans are all they’re engaging—
So, don’t be fooled.

JACK LONDON VICTORIA
Part writer, part station—he’s Jack London Victoria!
Will the woman who loves him save him from going off the rails?
Before the woman HE loves destroys him?
Are his literary aspirations ideas above his station?
Or will his books become a platform for future writers?
Crowds of people have railed at him—still he believes in his work;
Would publish privately if he had the capital.
With every train of thought he sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
He writes fast, keeping with the flow, hating a stationary plot.
Moving with the times—he’s no sleeper when it’s time for a literary departure.
Dedicated to his craft he writes in longhand when the carriage on his typewriter breaks down.
He thinks his competitors have run out of steam.
He was chuffed when James Joyce said (of his short stories) “Diesel do!”
He writes such a stack it’s hard to keep track,
Surely, soon, he’ll meet a publisher who’ll say: “This book is just the ticket!”
Jack London Victoria—his brain makes quick connections but will he leave his readers stranded if the characters in his stories ALL CHANGE?
Despite delays and awkward passages, sticking to his main line optimistically he has already attracted an Underground following.
The action never grinds to a halt when he pulls out all the stops to produce his best,
In accordance with his readers’ express wishes,
Looking for signals of the arrival of success—Jack London Victoria—he’s no old buffer!

CHUCK OFF!
ANOTHER SCREEN ICON GONE! CHARLTON HESTON: 0 CHARLTON ATHLETIC: 1
Hollywood legend Charlton Heston has died aged 84. Heston, who won an Oscar for his performance in Ben Hur, will not be pressed on to perform now that he’s deceased. His death, the ultimate act, could be considered his most convincing performance and, as a result, media attention in the Hollywood fixture has—albeit temporarily—increased. In his later years, ‘Chuck’ turned down a lucrative offer to star in a comedic sequel to Ben Hur, the biblical epic that won him an Oscar, called Ben Hur-Hur! He was also noted for his dalliance with right-wing politics and pro-gun ownership stance. It remains unclear whether these issues were linked to the dementia that afflicted the ageing star.

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
Rupert Murdoch went from papers to pay-per-view.
Irrelevantly, Iris Murdoch wrote lots of novels and had Alzheimer’s too.
The sky’s the limit for the former press baron.
Movie moguls move modems to amass vast wealth,
With mass-markets of massive appeal,
Exerting mass hypnotism; exploiting crass mental health.

IAN PAISLEY—SHIRTY PROTESTANT POLITICIAN RETIRING?
Paisley—protestant politician, or place in Scotland?
What can we learn from study of his patterns…Of behaviour?
He’s always been known as a Right Reverend,
But does he see himself as Ireland’s saviour?
Does he have designs on the Irish people?
Misleading (while leading) them; hymn singing under a church steeple.
Was Sinn Fein the bane of his life, truly obstructive to all his plans?
Or, were they merely his counterparts in a game of opposing clans?
