The French can get rather irate,
If they think that you’re stirring up hate,
They won’t hem and haw,
Just call in the law,
Even if you’re only eight.

There’s never been much of a doubt,
That the Irish are fond of their stout,
For six scary years,
It lost ground to craft beers,
A habit we all must stamp out.

Willie Walsh enquired of Fine Gael
If our share of the airline’s for sale,
But they will not let go,
Of their slots in Heathrow,
So it looks like the offer might fail

Any day now the British will yield,
Control of our country’s fourth field,
At least that’s what Marty,
Proclaimed to his party,
When all of their plans were revealed.

Obama stood up to debate,
Why the Union’s in such a state,
He wants to take more,
From the rich for the poor,
Which makes his opponents irate.
