#7 Casteing Call, or, The Black Irish Baritones

That British producer was wary:
"A les6ian secret'ry? Scary.
Why mess with success?
Cast a man in a dress --
Someone tall, dark, and handsome -- as Kerry!"
"But... who would replace him as Barry?"
"Why, one of those other two! Larry?"

Not to slight the able Mr. Elba.

#8 And speaking of producers and racism and stuff...

The luvvie was, naturally, skittish
At being selected -- Black British! --
To play the Rasul
On the Beeb, to mark Yule:
"Bruv, not cool! I can't sing this... it's Yiddish!"

#9 The Scramble for Beachy Head

Poor Africa, held in the thrall
Of our islands so spacious, so small
That before her chaste race
Overflows the wee place,
Mighty Blighty must welcome them all!
