Phil Blakemore (above) was caught on CCTV pooing into a golf hole at a children’s pitch and putt course and jailed for six months

Young Philip from Pwlleli Town
Gave magistrates reason to frown
After having some drink
He decided to sink
In the wrong place, now he’s going down.

Ukriane-based Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, who had been reported shot and killed on Tuesday, showed up yesterday at a news conference alive

A journalist yesterday said
Ukraine lied when they claimed he was dead
He did not tell his wife
So don’t bet your life
He’ll return to the marital bed

Some 95% of what is produced from backlit devices is heat and only 5% is light

I think that it’s time that you knew
Of the danger of light when it’s blue
Can it really keep
You from getting your sleep?
It might, if these rumours are true

Kilauea Volcano continues its eruption cycle yesterday near Pahoa on the island of Kilauea, Hawaii

In Hawaii a large lava flow
Has recently started to go
Towards a power station
And cause consternation.
There were landslides this weekend you know

Jordan Peterson believes violent men can be cured by the love of a good woman 

A boffin who lies on the right
Has had a delightful insight:
Assign women to men
To sleep with, and then
All violence will end overnight

Cora Sherlock (right) outside the Dáil last month calling on the Minister for Health, Simon Harris to ‘honour his commitment’ to debate his abortion plans with the LoveBoth campaign. Ms Sherlock was a no show last night for an RTÉ debate with Mr Harris.

It wasn’t to be Cora’s fate
To star in a TV debate
When those on her team
Switched horses mid stream
But made the decision too late

The asteroid 2015 BZ509 (circled in yellow) shares Jupiter’s orbit yet orbits backward

One asteroid, a favourite of mine
That’s known as BZ509
Has gained my affection
With its odd direction
It sticks to its own lonely line

Is the Chinese food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) good for you?

One thing that I quite like to see
Is Chinese food served for my tea
But the treats on the plate
Can cause a debate
If the chef uses some MSG
