      My rates for doing a Will are quite reasonable, actually. £150+VAT. Home / hospital visits are extra, obviously.

      Not as good as Horse's, but another Beatles-to the tune of Maxwell's Silver Hammer:

      Boris working late

      Thinks he's got it on a plate

      Has support of friends

      So he goes to bed felling pretty smugg a ha smugg

      But as the zs are leaving his lips a noise comes from behind

      Bang Bang Govey's silver hammer comes down upon his head

      Bang Bang Govey's silver hammer--
