US President Donald Trump said yesterday he will send the National Guard to patrol the border with Mexico

At a press conference Donald began
To think of a cunning new plan
He’ll issue an order
“Send troops to the border”
In case Mexico sides with Iran.

Quebec’s L’Extra Camembert won the coveted ‘Best of Class’ award in the camembert category at the 2018 World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin, USA

The news from the world cup of cheese
Has caused the poor French some unease
As Canada’s where
You’ll find Camembert
With a flavour that’s certain to please.

Good Friday in Temple Bar, Dublin 2 last year

The Gardaí are heading your way
With something important to say
You’ll be thrown in the clink
If you turn down a drink
On mandatory alcohol day.

John Concannon, chief of the government’s Strategic Communications Unit (SCU)

The government had a review
Of its comms team, between me and you
It found that the unit
Was totally unfit
For purpose. But that we all knew.

UK Brexit secretary David Davis with sick bucket on the The Andrew Marr Show on BBC 1

Does Davis’s diet include
Some dangerously unwashed sea food
Or did he hit the bar
Before talking to Marr
And end up a little too stewed?

Stormy Daniels on CBS’ 60 Minutes, broadcast last night in the US

 A woman who once had a hump
With the fellow we all know as Trump
was told to beware,
Don’t speak of the affair
Or your daughter may have a bad bump.

Pro-life Independent TDs Mattie McGrath (left) and Danny Healy Rae in the Dáil yesterday

It’s time to sit up and take note
Of those who don’t want you to vote
The prospect of choice
Being given a voice
Was something they dared not promote.
