That mighty old Cavan man Quinn,
Has announced that the fight will begin,
He believes that the State,
Must now compensate,
As they turned a blind eye to his sin.

Today our whole nation is shook,
By the path that a sports pundit took,
When he went on TV,
Where children could see,
And spoke the unspeakable: “fuck”.

So Mary is not very happy,
That a fellow who’s not changed a nappy,
Can presume to know best,
Without facing the test,
She can see the planned synod is crappy.

Let’s don stupid hats for the day,
When Mulligan slagged the late May,
Then Steve went to school,
And got paid by a fool-
I gave up there, that’s all I can say.

Some Italians who haven’t a home,
Sleep under a clerical dome,
But so far they’ve heard,
Not even one word,
From the popular Bishop of Rome.

[Aer Lingus cabin crew on strike last month]
I’ll admit that I am glad to see,
Both sides make attempts to agree,
While some, left and right,
Would welcome the sight,
Of a strike with jingoistic glee.

That diligent judge, Mr Cooke,
Was instructed to take a good look,
And try to trace back,
Any source of a hack,
But he found no sure sign of a crook.

While Reilly is on his way out,
He’s desperately trying to tout,
A rather extreme,
Anti tobacco scheme,
But has he still got enough clout?

[Katie Taylor following her European title win in Bucharest, Romania on Saturday]
Without hesitation we state,
That our finest athlete is Kate,
Seeing her take the gold,
Will never get old,
She’s the greatest of all of the great.

From Britain the world’s largest fleet,
Have headed to France where they’ll meet,
Six divisions of Hun,
Who they’ll have on the run,
Or left on the beach like dead meat.
