No one thought that we could, but somehow
We’ve survived forty years without Mao
To him all is owed
And to stray from his road
Is something that can’t be allowed.

Groom Brian Kelly (left) and his missing Best Man Ed Costello, 1973

Many years ago when Brian wed
He was backed up by his best man Ed
But Ed had to go
And Brian wants to know
Where his old friend now lays his head.

Stephen Donnelly TD

Now everyone’s gagging to know
Where Donnelly’s planning to go
Will Stephen be startin’
A new deal with Martin
Or has Shane Ross stolen the show?

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un watches a ballistic rocket launch at an unknown location.

On Monday it’s lovely to see
North Korea have gone and launched three
Missiles of some kind
Kim Jong-un will find
He’s had his revenge on the sea.

Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan President

Some people in Tashkent have said
Islam Karimov might be dead
But they’re all a bit scared
To have the news aired
So they’re leaving him there in his bed.

Mexiican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Donald Trump in Mexico City yesterday

In Mexico Trump said the wall
Is going to be built after all
But he didn’t say
Who is going to pay
I guess we’ll find out in the fall.

Two government officials were executed by anti-aircraft gunfire in North Korea

Remember that chap Ri Yong Jin?
He committed a horrible sin
When business arose
He started to doze
And now sleeps in history’s dustbin.

That talented funnyman Gene
Has sadly departed the scene
He’d bring tears to your eyes
With one of his sighs
Or the way he’d pronounce ‘Fronkensteen‘.

250 years old: The Long Hall, South Great George’s Street, Dublin 2

There’s a pub that has been the downfall
Of many a well planned pub crawl
When you find that your feet
Grow tired on George’s Street
And you stay the night in the Long Hall.
