Sorry, previous line should have read

All this talk of comics,  
It just leaves me blue  
{Da da da da DAH!}

OK, as you were…

Still not right. AB rhyme scheme:

I’ll go no more a-rovin’  
My postin’, it’s done.  
{Da da da da DAH!}  
Just 'cos I dug Verhoeven  
They set phasers to ‘Stun’  
{Da da da da DAH!}
