Whilst feeding my son in bed (which seems to have been the feed of eternal longeness), realised that the last lines of both stanzas of the Iolanthe DD are wrong and have too many syllables. I think a bit of tweaking will solve it...
Airily fairily
Poor Iolanthe, she's
Banished by fairies be-
-Cause of her son
Dad's the Lord Chanc'llor, so
Strephon's half-human, looks
Anachronistically
Older than Mum.
Hurrah.
(BTW is it wrong to will your son to finish feeding so that you can come and blog?)

Freddy's apprentic'd til
Reaching maturity
That's what he thought.
Paradox Ically
Birthday's a leap year day
Prenticeship lasts until
After the war
Erm, I'm thinking about this way too much, but how about:
Dad's the Lord Chanc'llor, so
Half-human Strephon looks
Anachronistically
Older than Mum.
