This week’s assignment was to write the lyrics to a song entitled ‘50 Ways to Leave the White House’.
While the brief steered you in the direction of Paul Simon’s 1975 hit (the inspira-tion for whose distinctive chorus was a rhyming game played with his infant son), I didn’t specify that you had to use that as your template and competitors drew inspi-ration from a variety of other well-known songs.
