Easily done. They look remarkably similar at first glance.

 confucius say...
. ..do not confuse setter & judge.
Far be it for me to contradict Confucius, still less the Sybilline utterances of your good self, but ... err ... aren't they frequently one and the same person?
I don't see the New Statesman, so I don't know if the name Ms de Meaner still appears, but picking one up at random on the Internet, I find
The NS Competition No 4112
By Leonora Casement Published 04 February 2010
Going back to 2008, I can still find "Set by Leonora Casement" and "Report by Ms de Meaner", but in view of the byline above, I can't help wondering whether they were in fact always the same person, and at some point she decided to merge herselves?

I guess it's a reasonable point, Brian. I'll check with Vicky. I'll be relieved if it wasn't she who allowed wossname's dodgy entries.

Vicky owns the soft impeachment. O tempora! O mores! & like that zapadapadoo.
A limerick's never free-floating.
It has rules, which we all should be noting.
But it seems that Ms Keys
Can just do as she please
With a lash-up that's hardly worth quoting.

Thank you, Basil, o best of R-Ds,
For your work on the case of A.Keys.
Was your erring chum Vicky
Insufficiently picky
Or not watching her Qs and her Ps?

Let’s be fair to Ms Keys, though her crime
Would justify doing some time.
While the judge spoke of scansion
And metre, no mention
Was made that the thing had to rhyme.

Sorry. I did that thing again. I was thinking of a (red) setter and a (high court) judge. They do look remarkably similar. It's the dangly bits...

Oh, lay off Ms Alison Keys.
It's not her fault the poem got picked.
Besides, to my ears,
it has naive charm
and possibly could well go viral.
