Now foreigners can watch Love/Hate,
Will all of them start to equate,
Our country with thugs,
Who kill and deal drugs,
And swear at a furious rate?

Pop tykes recording Do They Know It’s Christmas 

Bob Geldof has gathered a throng,
Of pop stars to sing a bad song,
All for charity,
Perhaps it’s time he,
Asked the locals, who think he is wrong.

Sinn Féin TD Mary Lou McDonald last night

A Deputy called Mary Lou,
Wouldn’t leave when the chair asked her to,
Remaining quite calm,
She threw toys from her pram,
‘Till the rest of the chamber withdrew.

The Gardaí are having a laugh,
When they say that they solve almost half,
Of this country’s crimes,
At the best of times,
They do half that, it says on this graph.
