US President Donald Trump (right) with Sergey V. Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, in the White House last week.
Poor Donald just couldn’t keep hush in
A chat with a senior Russian
Diplomatic guy
By which I mean spy
There’s bound to be some repercussion.

Some boffins say you shouldn’t eat
A thick slab of juicy red meat
You can, if you wish
Horse into a fish
But sirloin should be a rare treat

Lizards are getting in the way of a long-delayed railroad project in southern Germany
From Stuttgart we’re hearing some tails
About thousands of creatures with scales
Who are causing great pains
For fans of new trains
And sending their plans off the rails.

US President Donald Trump (left) has fired FBI Director James Comey (right)
There’s really no need to ask why
Trump’s chosen to say his goodbye
To Comey. It’s clear
Nobody should fear
His replacement at the FBI.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny
Now Leo and Simon both cry
Out to Heaven and ask to know why
The Taoiseach’s so slow
In choosing to go
They’re stuck in the longest goodbye

Dooagh beach, Achill Island, County Mayo before (top) and after (above) April storms that deposited sand back on its strand for the first time since 1984
For decades they had to beseech
The ocean to give back their beach
Now those in the west
Are finally blessed
And once more their life is a peach

Peter Capaldi as profane spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It
Some boffins were left thunderstruck
When they sat down to take a good look
At those who converse
With swear word and curse
And the benefits made them cry “Fuck!”

French presidential hopefuls Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen last night
Our neighbours all tuned in to see
A mud-slinging row on TV
The pollsters have said
That Macron’s still ahead
So France can still claim sanity.

The man who created The Wire
Is assembling quite a big choir
For a show about rogues
That’s inspired by The Pogues
With tickets I’ll fiercely desire.
