It says here in front of my eyes,
That next year most wages will rise,
So go have some fun,
Take a trip to the sun,
On credit is what I’d advise.

The evidence shows that times are,
Increasingly tough at the bar,
So they’re issuing pleas,
For healthier fees,
Which they say have fallen too far.

Roz Purcell with Donald Trump During ‘Miss Universe’, 2011

Some terrible news for the Don,
His political future is gone,
And simply because,
He’s been slammed by Roz,
I can’t see how he can go on.

Outside the Chinese Theatre, Hollywood before the world premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens

It’s a red letter day for the geeks,
Who’ve been sleepless and giddy for weeks,
Now at the first sight,
Of the Falcon in flight,
They’re emitting some satisfied squeaks.

If we harness the heat of the sun,
Then the war against carbon is won,
But is this plan sane,
Underneath Ireland’s rain?
I’m not convinced it can be done.

Marine Le Pen, leader of French National Front (FN) political party leader 

At the weekend the National Front,
Almost pulled off one hell of a stunt,
But the left helped the right,
Where they led in the fight,
Le Pen fell in the heel of the hunt.

Pro-life senator Jim Walsh in the seanad yesterday

A mention of her hemorrhoid,
Left Senator Bacik annoyed,
Much venom was flung,
And a lot of it stung,
And the chamber’s decorum destroyed.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace at Shannon Airport, July 2014

In events that some people call thick,
The outspoken Deputy Mick,
Himself with the hair,
And that other one, Clare,
Spent a couple of hours in the nick.
