The courts must decide now what will,
Be done with the house on Gorse Hill,
As a clan with no cash,
Make a big media splash,
And run up a huge legal bill.

Television fans should be aware,
While gazing at Miriam’s hair,
That feast for the eyes,
Is a tissue of lies,
And I for one think it’s not fair.

Rupert Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks in July 2011

In Dublin there’s soon to be seen,
An innocent English colleen,
But we can relax,
There’s no chance of hacks,
From Storyful’s new business queen.

Though the fellow who runs Ryanair,
Drives all decent folk to despair,
“He’s the man for the job!”
Say the Bilderberg mob,
Inviting him into their lair.

The paper and coffee kiosk Ballsbridge, Dublin 4

We’ve had six long years of gloom,
But surely we’re back to the boom,
If two hundred grand,
Buys a metre of land,
And a building without any room.

It’s easy to sneer and to mock,
When Hollywood stops to take stock,
Who cares what they pick,
As the year’s greatest flick?
Just tell me who wore a nice frock.
