Care for a spin? (Image by Pexels on Pixabay)

There was a spin doctor named Dominick
Who was really great at being slick
He would slander and soil
With his verbal snake oil
Upset he was labeled a prick

There was a spin doctor named Dominick
Who was really great at being slick
Giddy with his fame
He did not see his name
Had been mispelt and shortened to Dick

No more a spin doctor named Dominick
Who was really great at being slick
Just like Lord Tim Bell
Reputation in Hell
That gives me a helluva kick!

Authors Note: Doctor Spin was the pseudonym used by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber for the hit single Tetris in 1992; the famous tune in the Game Boy version of the game.
