Fianna Fáil’s Micheál Martin at Leinster House Yesterday
Fianna Fáil say that they feel,
They can’t accept Fine Gael’s deal,
They’ll seize the controls,
Or go back to the polls,
There’s a whole country still there to steal.

New Yorker writer Calvin Trillin
In New York they say that the sight,
Of a poem should cause simple delight,
But try to play nice,
When writing of rice,
Or you’ll kick off a nasty food fight.

Republican US Presidential candidate hopeful Ted Cruz (right) and family last night
The people in Wisconsin choose,
To give their support to Ted Cruz,
He may be a freak,
With a far right wing streak,
But it’s worth it to see Donald lose.

It seems that our beaches are full,
Of faeces that comes from the gull,
I’m all in a flap,
About taking their crap,
And I reckon it’s time for a cull.

Irish Dr Mark Bonar accused of prescribing banned treatments to sports stars
The innocent youngster might hope,
That footballers don’t cheat with dope,
That the beautiful game,
Will remain free from shame,
Can we reassure them? Erm, nope.

If you don’t want to look like a fool,
Then remember this one simple rule,
What the newspapers say,
Is nonsense today,
The rest of the year though, they’re cool.

Northern Ireland’s First Minister Arlene Foster
The DUP leader Arlene,
Has said things that sound a bit mean,
About those who died so,
The Brits might just go,
While wearing a proud shade of green.

A still from Chinese video ‘Our Xi Dada’
One thing that no one needs to see,
Is a pop show about Comrade Xi,
It’s all good clean fun,
But he’s no Kim Jong Un,
Perhaps he should just let it be.

Independent Alliance TDs Finian McGrath TD (centre) Shane Ross (right)
John Halligan was heard to roar,
That he finds long discussions a bore,
If the deal is to stick,
Then they must make it quick,
He’s not sure he can take much more.

In the long years since Shakespeare’s been dead,
There’ve been rumours, in fact some have said,
That such as a small tomb,
Doesn’t have enough room,
That’s no reason to go lose the head.
