Enda Kenny should never explain,
Why he chose the words “might and mane”,
It seems that the phrase,
Is used two different ways,
Which last night drove twitter insane.

I no longer know what to feel,
This news knocks me right off my keel,
Surely there’s no way,
That grown-ups could say,
They think Santa and Jesus are real.

An Oireachtas committee’s been told,
That sometimes it’s ok to be bold,
Sanctions won’t be applied,
To those buying a ride,
As long as the vendor is old.

For a strapping young lassie or lad,
Who needs work, this should make them glad,
Do you think that you,
Could dress up in blue,
And protect us from everything bad?

A gaggle of scribblers have said,
That sometimes they don’t want to be read,
It’s okay to look,
Inside of a book,
But their emails? You’re out of your head.

Defined ESB pension rights,
Won’t darken your cold winter nights,
Because Bren, in the end,
The working man’s friend,
Will allow you to turn on your lights.

Instead of some nice festive cheer,
These Sisters are living in fear,
In the dark of the night,
Some of their sprouts took flight,
It’s clearly the crime of the year.

The use of the phrase “laissez-faire”,
Is common in politics where,
The talk is of shops,
Not slaughtering cops,
Then admitting you don’t really care.

A caveman from somewhere out west,
Has announced that he’s found a new vest,
Which he’ll wear, for a while,
With an unctuous smile,
And then ditch it once put to the test.
