When showing kids Paddington Bear
It’s vital that you take good care
I’m sure you’ll agree
You don’t want them to see
Any nipples, or worse, pubic hair.

Eamon De Valera campaigning on January 1, 1948
Now
Now is the time for complacency
Let us take our shoulders from the wheel
The road ahead is easy
The distant sunlit uplands real
Tús maith, leath na hoibre
And we have started very well
So now relax each muscle fibre
Await the peal of Victory’s bell.

That they’re making millenials sad
But there’s no need to weep
As long as you keep
In the good books of your mum and dad.

US President Donald Trump
It’s not a good start to the year
If you’re threatening to go nuclear
So just panic and flail
And cower and wail
And do nothing but try to spread fear.

12% of Norwegians use ‘snus’, a form of snuff particular to Nordic countries
In Norway they’ve brought in some tough
Rules on smoking, and so sure enough
It’s farewell cancer sticks
They’re now getting their fix
By filling their nostrils with snuff.
