On the London New Year Fireworks
Now welcome folks, I've got a thing to say
About the fireworks show that saw in New Year's Day.
The lights were all right, and the fireworks hot —
Not the bloke though whose verse introduced the lot.
I'm not any sort of expert on rap,
But his scansion was poor and his rhymes were unfortunate.
It's not a thing that gives me a good deal of hope,
Seems verse has declined since the great days of Pope.
In fact now I happen to think it all through,
It's sunk even lower than McGonagall too.
There's a lot of work needed for 2023
To be the greatest New Year show in the Galaxy.
