Cut!

Bill Greenwell

Published 01 April 2002

"Body Worlds" preserves "plastinated" corpses. EMI is cutting rock acts, Consignia is cutting jobs. A Labour "stalking-horse" was suggested

Mariah Carey? Duff canary

Postman Pat can park his van

Airy-blairy, best be wary

Here he comes, the Scissor-Man

Run a red line through the roster

Time to pass the Parcelforce

Count the cost or face impostor

Fetch the Panto Stalking-Horse

Time for mods to slash the rockers

Break the crowns of Royal Mail

Hear the knockers put the mockers

On you: Government For Sale

Rolling Stones have gathered moss

Crack down on communication

When the boss has lost his gloss

The only hope is plastination
