US President Donald Trump at a press conference in the White House yesterday

The world watched a frightening scene
As Donald stood up to vent spleen
He asserted that, yes
The country’s a mess
But he runs a fine-tuned machine

Kid Rock, a potential Republican candidate for a US Senate seat in Michigan

That tiresome old singer Kid Rock
May yet give his home state a shock
As the whole G.O.P.
Slides to insanity
And elections are a laughing stock

The traitor known as Kim Jong Nam
Spent several years on the lam
But got into a scrape
That he couldn’t escape
To his killer we say “Thank you Ma’am”.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny celebrates St Patrick’s Day with US President Barack Obama on March 17, 2011

It soon will be St Patrick’s Day
When our ministers all go away
This year it’s not right
To take a first class flight
Or find somewhere comfy to stay.

Off a new policy
To improve safety
And remind us all that he’s the boss.

Former US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama in Hayes Bar, Moneygall, Co. Offaly, during his state visit in 2011

Should we honour Barack in this town?
The prospect brought some comrades down
They’d damn him to hell
Along with Michelle
As a big money, blood thirsty clown.

A slap-headed deputy Steve
Did something his fans can’t believe
He claimed to be best
But when put to the test
He left all his voters to grieve.
