O’Leary wants planes so he gets,
A huge pile of new jumbo jets,
So please Boeing, please,
Make him pay extra fees,
And don’t offer any regrets

There once was an old Argentine,
Who did magic with bread and with wine,
So under a dome,
Some cardinals in Rome,
Gave him the keys to their shrine.

He’s habemus a laugh!

Redemption for last night’s VatirickGate?

Or can you do better?

All limericks by 2.30pm. 3.30pm

Update: winner:

There once was an Argentine fella
Was pals with dictator Videla
He turned a deaf ear
Made priests disappear
And now bears the flag white and yella

The smoke has turned white so now let’s go,
And pray for the new Pope Francesco,
They picked one of the “Jays”
‘Cause they know lots of ways,
Of covering up a fiasco.

It’s frightening! How will we cope?
As all of our ministers slope,
To lands overseas,
We’re begging them, please,
Without them we haven’t a hope.

Old Malcolm decided to paint,
Teresa as a modern saint,
But a glance at the facts,
Of her words and acts,
Show more than a hint of a taint.
