The genes from some long extinct beast,
Have been found on a hill to the east,
The papers don’t care,
That it’s merely a bear,
So news of the Yeti’s released.

The chaps up on Capitol Hill,
Have worked out a debt-ceiling bill,
Though the right did their best,
When put to the test,
They couldn’t move in for the kill.

I was worried, it’s fair to admit,
About just how this budget would hit,
The things I hold dear,
They put ten cent on beer!
That’s bad, but I don’t think I’ll quit.

Les was told he’d have to treat,
Himself to a spare airline seat,
Now this would be great,
If Les could bilocate,
A sadly impossible feat.

We’ll soon know if there’s any cash,
Left to spend in the government stash,
Will they start a new boom,
Or is it our doom,
To be trapped in a permanent crash?

Once more in the poor Middle East,
The trouble and strife has increased,
For now, though, the fights,
Involve armour-clad knights,
And the shooting and shelling has ceased.

In Dublin there’s still some goodwill,
For the fellow who came to instill,
A philanthropic itch,
In the pants of the rich,
So they stood up and cheered for The Bill.

Pour a big glass of Champagne,
‘Cause Ireland’s back in the fast lane,
Regardless of cost,
It’s high time we lost,
The run of ourselves once again.

Some people are furious that,
Someone on Love/Hate shot a cat,
Even though it’s not real,
These idiots feel,
It will lead to feline tit-for-tat.

Old Gerry decided to mention,
The heightened sectarian tension,
Against all the odds,
He’s blaming the prods,
It’s a problem with just one dimension.
