Eoghan Murphy, junior minister at the Department of Finance

So many are feeling the pain
As insurance fees rocket again
But one bright young man
Has an excellent plan
You’re still screwed, but they’ll have to explain.

Justin Barrett, president of ‘The National Party’

The same people gather each year
To launch a new force based on fear
At the Merrion Hotel
It didn’t go well
The staff kicked them out on their ear.

US Vice President-Elect Mike Pence at Trump Tower, NYC yesterday

The fascists are feeling the urge
To clean themselves out with a purge
After only a week
Their team starts to creak
As rivalries start to emerge.

They gathered to gaze on the sight
Of Grafton Street bathed in pale light
Just to hear someone say
That the band wouldn’t play
Which seemed a poor end to the night.

Conor McGregor (right) and  Eddie Alvarez (left( at a UFC press conference yesterday

A tired luvvie in a fur coat
Tried to grab the world’s press by the throat
But his act with a chair
Failed to go anywhere
And his one-liners hit a bum note.

Jim Corr: voted Trump as the ‘lesser of two evils’

There once a pop star called Jim
Outspoken and just a bit dim
When the yanks made their choice
He added his voice
Against her and in favour of him.

Legislators Sixtus Leung (left) and Yau Wai-ching at a pro-independence rally in Hong Kong yesterday.

It looks like it’s all going wrong
In the once-happy land of Hong Kong
Some there would like to see
Themselves slightly more free
But Beiing’s response has been strong.
