It brings shame to our nation to see,
A man who was once a TD,
Locked up for a spell,
In a small prison cell,
Oh when will our Ivor run free?

In a moving, if old-fashioned sight,
Mr Caffrey was raised as a knight,
Ending five hundred years,
Of heartbreak and tears,
When this lecturer moved to the rite.

Obama is taking a stand,
Against tax dodging companies and,
This will limit our scope,
For change and for hope,
And could see our exchequer crash land.

It’s sad but we know we’ve all been,
A stroppy and late rising teen,
Now science proves that,
You weren’t just a brat,
But a slave to a misfiring gene.

Back during his rugby career,
An English chap called Michael Freer,
Was over the moon,
About young Miss Fortune,
Can we give him a last chance to see ‘er?

In the north all the poindexters will,
Wail and grow ever more shrill,
If you want big ideas,
From the great and wise,
Then stay far away from MacGill.

Meath saw their summer cut short,
Outclassed at our national sport,
But was Dublin’s might,
Helped along by a bite?
I hope this won’t end up in court.

A much admired Senator, Ned,
Took the floor yesterday and then said,
That all will agree,
Those birds from the sea,
Have all decent folk seeing red.

Some claim that newpapers are dead,
But a trustworthy banker has said,
That his sword met a pen,
Which beat him and then,
Pushed our state into the red.

John Moynes, July 16, 2012 (top) and today (above).
I’ve churned this crap out for two years,
To the sound of the commenters’ cheers,
Turning topical tales,
Into lyrical wails,
That are judged by anonymous peers.
