Sorry for the delay in publishing this, folks! This actually aired on 27th September (last Friday) on Rob Adcock's Drivetime show through BBC Radio Northampton. Thank you once again, dear Rob! :-) You can listen to it here:

GK's Peek at Drivetime's Week - 27/09/13

A week of stories, breaking news
Some joy,  some hot debate
Chuck in a dose of HS2
And Tonsillitis-gate

For did Rob do his lady wrong?
Add to her tonsil woes?
When he wouldn’t sing a birthday song
To  Coco dog... Who knows?

Still, Council land is up for sale
Three thousand brand new houses
As Wellingborough plans unveil
In many, anger rouses

Plus plod funds, shortfall, soon to be
More crime? Oh can we bear it?
Advice to those with jewellery
The best thing is to wear it!

By Wednesday thus we felt on trial
With talk of strikes and theft
And people asked, “How can we smile?
What ray of hope is left...?”

Eleven heard this cry, so loud
Morale now falling lame
And with their cricket whites donned proud
They took to one last game

But could they make it? Were they tipped
To meet their county’s vision?
The twenty-twenty box was ticked
Was next... the top division?

Indeed! They did it! We can beam
And laugh and shout and fuss
So  cheer along our cricket team
In their great big topless bus

And now, with grins ‘cross every cheek
We all can celebrate
And wave adieu to one more week
And... Tonsillitis-gate
