The IKEA catering crew,
Have been forced to admit that it’s true,
When they go to bake,
A butterscotch cake,
The secret ingredient is poo.

So now that young Kate is with child,
She’s driving the tabloid press wild,
By seeming to tender,
A hint of its gender,
She should have stayed silent and smiled.

I think that we all can agree,
That this day we’ve been waiting to see,
So well done, and fair play,
The the bould Doctor Gay,
Who has cured a child of HIV.

This morning’s news really is splendid,
Our national nightmare has ended,
So let’s all buy houses,
And get trophy spouses,
As logic is once more suspended.

Just as his career’s gone adrift,
James Reilly gets stuck in a lift,
A tale laced with nectar,
For the public sector,
The whole thing’s a satirist’s gift.

The mayor of Ballinasloe,
Was burgled not so long ago,
But to my relief,
She went for the thief,
And dealt him one hell of a blow.

It’s busy in St Peter’s Square,
The faithful have all gathered there,
To see the last show,
From the outgoing Joe,
And say their goodbyes, and a prayer.

Democracy can look unfit,
When Italian voters are split,
At the polling machine,
They can’t choose between,
Bersani, Grillo, or the shit.

They’re ready to sign and to seal,
The “last ever” Croke Park Deal.
Before reading the terms,
Both left and right worms,
Will denounce it with all of their zeal.
