GK’s Peek at Drivetime's Week – 27/06/14

Before we get going, let’s first give a cheer
For Rob’s been on Drivetime for bang on a year!
And thanks, too, to Annabel, hosting so wittily
Monday, whilst Rob swanned off filming in Italy

Still… moving to sport, some may feel quite deprived
But Wimbledon does now mean summer’s arrived
Forget about football, and – dare I say – cricket
For just a few days let’s not bat, bowl or kick it

Instead, let’s think forehands and volleys that charm
And show Suarez strawberries taste nicer than ‘arm’
For though they are fruity and known to be sweet
If he wants to cut sugar, then strawbs work a treat

But other than sport, it would seem our fair shire
Is great for small business, has lots to admire
And has caught the attention of some Gov committee
Who’re thinking of building a new garden city

And that’s not the only new building proposed
Poor Flore now has sixty new homes being imposed
Just as Mark Carney announces new rules
To curb mortgage lending and stop banks being fools

And other news stories are: Wonga’s been shook
Coulson is guilty; Brooks is off the hook
Unison’s voted for more striking pain
And Glastonbury’s dealing with sunshine and rain

Cycling road safety is being debated
Zero hours contracts are now overrated
Corby’s had problems with sewage mistakes
And tickets for Bernie have sold like hot cakes

And all of this happened only this week
Reported on Drivetime with humour – unique
In fact, this last year, Rob, through jokes and fun moans
We’ve learnt quite a lot via your dulcet tones…
