Paul-Krugman-with-Cat1

Economist Paul Krugman With his late cat, Doris Lessing

Paul Krugman has stood up to say
That we should put the Champagne away
Can we really construe
Our economy grew
So much and so quickly? No way.

Larry, the Downing Street cat.

An unfortunate foolhardy knave
Who once said we should call him Dave
Has just been told that
He must give his cat
A final and sad goodbye wave.

Actor Bryan Murray supporting collective bargaining rights for freelance workers, outside Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin 2 yesterday

In Carrigstown and in Red Rock
The actors are paid by the clock
But if you leave Fair City
For something more gritty
Your wallet is in for a shock.

Presumptive Democratic US presidential nominee Hillary Clinton

The Donald has said she’s a crook
But the Feds have now taken a look
Through all her emails
And Justice’s scales
Are letting her right off the hook.

kimjongun

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has gained 38 kilograms since taking power in 2012.

Some comrades have noticed of late
That our leader is putting on weight
We’re forced to conclude
That there’s plenty of food
In that fertile and bountiful state.

The City of London

What happens to Britain’s big banks
If they exit? Well let’s ask the yanks
We won’t get as much
As the mercantile Dutch
We’ll get something, for which we’ll give thanks.
