Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May during last night’s Battle For Number 10
The chattering classes all say
That Corbyn did better than May
There’s a mountain to climb
In bugger all time
Can Jeremy now find a way?

A dolphin’s carcass was found at the Parchment Square Student Accommodation complex on the Model Farm Road, Cork.
Some animals’ rights types have said
That a dolphin, even if it’s dead
Shouldn’t come to a bash
Where a lad on the lash
Might carry it over his head.

Republican Congressman Greg
Who looks like a rather bad egg
Says he’ll drain the swamp
But mainly just stomp
On reporters. He’s a powder keg.

Dublin Docklands last Summer
The mercury’s rising once more
And today we’ll see temperatures soar
It will feel grotesque
When you’re stuck at your desk
And sweat oozes from every pore.

Tom Cruise as ‘Maverick’ in Top Gun (1986)
This morning brings fabulous news
For fans of the lovely Tom Cruise
The rumours are true
He will make Top Gun 2
A film through which I will snooze.

Dara O’Briain’s letter from Theresa May reading: ‘Dear Dara and Briain’.
Well deep down I think we all knew
That Dara has always been two
Quite separate men
It was confirmed when
Theresa wrote that it was true.

Fine Gael leadership contender Simon Coveney launches his ‘policy priorities’ in the Dean Hotel, Dublin yesterday
Though he knows that he won’t take first place
Old Simon has stayed in the race
He’s accepted his fate
To hang on and wait
Until Leo has egg on his face.

US president Donald Trump at a press briefing in The White House yesterday
Now Donal’s been forced to confront
What he’s calling the greatest witch hunt
But he’s holding the line
He still says Russia’s fine
And the whole thing is merely a stunt.

When Noonan fell there wasn’t many
Thought FG had future but when he
Stepped up the plate
We all shared his fate
So let’s toast or curse Enda Kenny

Cinema-bound: Artemeis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
If you know an Irish pre-teen
Any colour, once his passport’s green
He could have a howl
Playing Artemis Fowl
And become a star of the big screen
