North Korea’s state-run television KRT yesterday
The American military corps
Are threatening Kim with a war
It sticks in their craw
That last time was a draw
So they want to go back for one more.

US President Donald Trump
When preparing a dossier choose
Only the right bits of news
You don’t have to fake
It, but you cannot make
That tetchy buffoon blow a fuse.

Danny Healy Rae TD claims fairies are responsible for a dip in the N22
If your boreen is prone to distort
You’ll find there’s no need to resort
To an engineer’s facts
It’s caused by the acts
Of the master of some fairy fort.

Residents of Kittyclogher, County Leitrim
Some people in Leitrim now feel
That depopulation is real
And these lonely hicks
Want more friends in the sticks
So they’re launching an online appeal.

Fanad Lighthouse, County Donegal felt earthquake tremors yesterday
In Fanad there was cause to make
Reports of a very small shake
It’s the fifth one this year
But there’s nothing to fear
It was just a grand soft earthquake.

US President Donald Trump with British Prime Minister Theresa May at the G20 summit in Germany last month.
At last someone’s stood up to say
That there’s still somewhere called the UK
He thinks there’s a chance
That it’s somewhere near France
And he’s quite sure it’s not gone away.

Journalist and columnist Kevin Myers
It’s grand if a chap gets his kicks
By giving our yards about chicks
But watch out for the swine
Who crosses a line
And smears himself with dirt that sticks

A Paddy Power mobile billboard during General Election 2016
So is it outrageous to think
That TDs should cough up for their drink?
Not quaff till they’re ill
And run up a bill
That they pay with a nod and a wink.

Anthony Scaramucci, Donald Trump’s communications director
So Anthony made a quick call
Full of language that’s bound to appall
And you will not believe
What he said about Steve
Poor old Bannon won’t like it at all.

The venomous Red imported Fire Ant
The Aussies are giving out grants
To wipe out imported fire ants
These small blighters bring
One hell of a sting
And could wipe out some native plants.
