Damn your perky, Irish-American beauty and popular, Mississippi-based mystery prose.
*scoffs entire Easter egg*

The bishops have come out in force,
Against what? Marriage rights. Why, of course,
They cannot conceive,
Of Adam and Steve,
So it seems Church and State must divorce.

This is the worst time of the year,
When Irishmen panic and fear,
They’ll run out of supplies,
As if it’s a surprise,
That tomorrow they can’t purchase beer.

The parish pump down in Meath East,
Has recently been nicely greased,
As FF and FG,
Go all out to see,
Whose popular vote has increased.

So now let the contest begin,
Let the young ones all jig, reel and spin,
At least in Irish Dance,
We might have half a chance,
At a world championship we could win.

It really can be quite complex,
To teach modern kids about sex,
Thank God one TD,
Knows it’s two and not three,
That should fiddle in each other’s kecks.

Tourists have high expectations,
When visiting sunny locations,
But bathers in Chile,
Will find it quite silly,
To see so many dying crustaceans.

Instead of a bout of blue flu,
Some guards are trying something new,
They taken some cash,
From the evidence stash,
Which would be quite a coup, if it’s true.

The Jump is set in Monopolis, a dark futuristic city, cut off from the rest of the world after a mysterious worldwide earthquake. The city is now controlled by World Corp who have outlawed fun and sent their evil mob to break up parties…
Irish software boffins Gone Gaming have released their first computer game – The Jump: Escape The City.
Free to download on iPhone and Android it’s a fun take on the classic post-apocalyptic drivey/jumpy/collecty format.
Also, apparently this sort of thing counts towards the knowledge economy, so anyone who doesn’t play it is an economic traitor.
It’s time now to stand up and clap,
They’ve worked out a deal on the CAP,
It seems that the farmers,
Those silver tongued charmers,
Will get paid if they don’t do a tap.
