North Korea plans to use ballistic missile technology

A satellite from the far east,
Means everyone’s fears are increased,
Our friend Kim Jong-un,
Just wants to have fun,
But his neighbours all think him a beast.

Davidson-Ted-Cruz-Wins-Trump-Loses-1200

US Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (above) emerged as the Republican front-runner in the Iowa caucus last night

Remember that fellow called Trump?
His figures have started to slump,
The Don didn’t choose,
To go out and lose,
But Teddy Boy gave him a thump.

Dr Omar Hassan, who mistook an Xray of an ankle for an arm

A doctor’s a chap who should know,
A sore foot from a broken elbow,
And if he gets it wrong,
Just send him along,
With a reference that can’t help but glow.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani opens a book he gave to Pope Francis as a gift at the Vatican on Tuesday.

I see the top chaps from Iran,
Will soon tuck into foie gras and flan,
Though they may skip the wine,
When they sit down to dine,
On a meal served with Gallic élan.
