Orlando Bloom and ‘Or’
Rhyming Couplets began to feel close to Orlando Bloom when she realised she had inadvertently been doing her hair in the same style as his in Lord of the Rings. Yes for a while there she looked like a particularly Hasidic Elf. But it was the pointy ears that really sealed the likeness. No, no […]
Usain Bolt and ‘The Race’
August 6, 2012
Cooee Rhyming Coupletees – I know it’s been a while (although funnily enough my last post on Boris has now come round to being Olympics-topical again…ha, how like 80s fashion he is). I’ve just been so caught up in planning the Olympic Opening Ceremony (pretty ace I thought), giving Boris a haircut so that he […]
Tony Blair and ‘The Healer’
March 10, 2012
What is Tone up to these days? Isn’t he being “special envoy” to the “six pack” or some other role that makes him sound like Peter Andre’s butler? No, no, Representative to the Quartet on the Middle East, that was it (not that I mean to belittle the Middle East Peace Process in any way…I just […]
Chevy Chase and ‘The Ballad of Chevy Chase’
February 21, 2012
Yes, there really is a poem called ‘The Ballad of Chevy Chase’! Too good to be true eh? And, it also clears up some previously inexplicable literary references: when Cathy says to Hareton Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights, “”I wish you would repeat Chevy Chase as you did yesterday; it was extremely funny!”, it was not an […]
John Terry and ‘The Englishman’
February 6, 2012
I know nothing about football. Let’s get that (collectible football) card on the table straight-away. I know even less about John Terry and have only caught a headline about him being stripped of the captaincy of the England football squad for allegedly racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. So it is with this deeply informed and researched […]
Andrew Marr and ‘Timothy Winters’
January 30, 2012
OK OK so it was mostly “ears like bombs” that made me think of this “rhyme”! And, at the risk of arguing myself out of it that’s definitely where the similarity ends – I’m not seriously suggesting that Andrew Marr “sleeps in a sack on the kitchen floor”, or that he was regularly dosed with […]
Beyonce and ‘Love Is A Sickness Full Of Woes’
January 23, 2012
Beyonce and ‘Love Is A Sickness Full of Woes’? What the Be-Jay-Z-sus? Keep up, it’s ‘Crazy In Love’ innit! Tee hee hee. ‘Love Is A Sickness Full Of Woes’ was written in the 16th Century and gives us that perhaps most traditional, or stereotypical, of poetic subject matters (one which we still sing about in pop […]
Katy Perry and Russell Brand and Catullus 5, to Lesbia
January 16, 2012
Arhhh, what a shame that Katy Perry and Russell Brand have split (like Jordan and Peter Andre they seemed made for each other). But then, I’d argue that they will always be married…in Catullus’ poems to Lesbia. For “Lesbia” read “Katy” who tries on lesbianism as if it were a pink Stetson on a hen […]
