This week's Poetry Corner in Private Eye is almost enough to bring a tear to your eye.

So. Farewell then
Maurice Gibb.

You were married
To Lulu
Briefly.

‘Staying Alive’.
That was your
Biggest hit.

But it would not be
Appropriate
For the remaining
Members of the
Bee Gees

To sing it at
Your funeral.

By B.G. Thribb (aged 17½)

Beautifully natural.
