Below is a song that was written for an internal sales presentation:

A Calypso Hymn in Praise of AstraZeneca ("Island in the Sun", Harry Bellafonte)

Verse 1: Ceri's my name and I'm going to sing
Of the joys that AstraZeneca brings
No love song but, as you've probably guessed,
On the cures for cancer of the breast

Verse 2: There's me and Tim, and there's Jackie and Jo
Who've spent a lifetime searching high and low
We've dedicated our time and skill
And we'll beat the bastard - we know we will

Chorus: We're everyone obsessed
With contemplating the female breast
For this thing of awe
We must find a cure
And that's what we have been living for

Verse 3: There once was a drug called tamoxifen
The jewel in our crown, our brightest gem,
The Queen of Drugs on the throne she sat
But the ATAC Trial put paid to that

Verse 4: Arimidex (then) it was all the rage
Until another one took the centre stage
And so the world can now be told
Of a new miracle that's bought and sold

Chorus 2: We're everyone obsessed
With contemplating the female breast
So tell the fairer sex
That it's FASLODEX
And that AstraZeneca is the best

Verse 5: Spread the tidings glad, spread them broad and wide
Make sure all the doctors are on our side -
If they sell Faslodex like they should
The female breast we have saved for good

Verse 6: There's only one more thing to say
There's some villains to fear not far away
Beware the rep and beware the advisor
Who comes from Novartis, and specially, Pfizer

Chorus 3: Now my song is done, it's been lots of fun
I'll end by toasting everyone….
To us! To the best
At the female breast
And may AstraZeneca be blessed!

Below is an example poem that was written during a school skiing trip:

Somewhere in this hotel there is
An adult only floor
And you have probably worked out
That it is number 4

Up there there is a dreadful place
You would never take your mum
For there jacuzzi baths propel
Hot bubbles up your bum

Bill thought he'd wear a pair of trunks
For Bill was never rude
But when he opened up the door
S**T, Ladies in the nude

He stood there stiff with fear and shame
And feeling very silly
Give me the Wally hat cried Bill
I'll wear it on my willy

He shut the door and looked away
He very nearly ran
But then another nude he saw
This time it was a man

The place was full of nakedness
He could not stay away
So ripping of his boxer shorts
He cried "Is this Okay?"

Now Bill has much to offer us
Good wisdom - more or less
But what he offered to those nudes
I leave you all to guess
