US president Donald Trump (left) and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon

It’s such an unalloyed delight
To see Donald and Steve have a fight
Has Steve lost his mind
Or will history find
That the claims that he made were all right?

Camperdown Wildlife Centre in Dundee, Scotland has been closed to give its 10 lion-tailed macaques the opportunity to mourn the loss of a troop member.

You may find this hard to believe
But monkeys need time off to grieve
So shutting a zoo
Is the smart thing to do
To give the poor creatures reprieve

Otonamaki involves replicating how babies are swaddled at birth

If you’re looking to tighten your bum
Or shift some of the flab from your tum
You can try something wacky
Like Otonamaki
Or a yoga that will make you cum

Charles Coyle, General Manager of Tayto Park, Ashbourne, County Meath

Now Tayto are quite keen that you
Won’t know how many died in their zoo
As the list of the dead
Might leave them in the red
So I’m guessing it’s more than a few

Britain’s deputy Prime Minister, Damian Green, who resigned yesterday.

May’s ally, poor Damian Green
Is departing the Downing Street scene
As he once took a look
At some internet muck
And fibbed when he should have come clean

The Gulf Corvina (above) whose loud lovemaking can deafen dolphins

The corvina, a Mexican fish
Mates so loudly it sometimes must wish
It could turn down the sound
When there’s trawlers around
And not end up served on a dish

The HMS Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s new aircraft carrier, is leaking

There’s been quite a panicky scene
On a ship that’s named after the queen
It seems one shaft seal
Wasn’t quite the real deal
Which caused leaking that was unforeseen.

The management at Ryanair
Were facing a pre-Christmas scare
They knew they’d not like
A holiday strike
So they’ve said that they’ll start to play fair

Earlier: That’s Gotta Hurt

British Prime Minister Theresa May in the House of Commons yesterday

It wasn’t a very good day
For beleaguered Prime Minister May
You’ll hear many a wail
From the bold Daily Mail
As the brexiteers all lose their way
