#1 An "elderly couple" from London,
Just "non-British" folks with a dungeon:
From whence do they hail,
And are they in jail?
Lor lumme, it's such a conundrum!

It doesn't sound quite like the Tower
The captives were held by willpower,
Then saved by a charity
From vague insularity --
This story is weak beer gone sour

Of course we're not peeling the onions!
Why should journalists labor as scullions?
When we show you the moon
In the court Picayune
Concentrate on the view, not the mullions

The press is our sword and our shield:
Weasels on an orwellian field
In sunshine or shower
They speak truth to power --
From everyone else it's concealed

Some limmies for Threater and Redder
That should've gone into the shredder
Those skeptics prodigious
Won't buy any bridges
That aren't specified to the letter

Oops. I see this story, unlike something I read earlier, does mention an arrest. Never mind.

Such sympathetic reading, and lord knows this stuff needs it! Not that your spiny shell isn't totally convincing, but I suddenly suspect you of sneaking around visiting hospitals and tutoring Pal prodigies and whatnot. ;-)
