Crime and Punishment

Truth will out, ‘tis often said;

Should we take such words as read?

Yet sexual tales of derring-do

Saw the end of you-know-who!

 

Celebrities dragged through the mire …

Who says there’s no smoke without fire?

Embezzlement, bribes, laundered cash

Lead many at the top to crash!

 

Corruption comes in many guises:

So, a prison sentence - no surprise is

As always, I shall name no name

But the French know whom to blame!
