Yesterday’s Red C opinion poll in The Business Post put support for Fianna Fáil at just 10 per cent
Dev’s party was once known to soar
In the polls, but they’re now on the floor
So what will they do
Attempt a quick coup
Or decide it’s something they’ll ignore?

Gardaí have objected to the renewal of a licence for Ted Lavelle’s pub (above) in Achill Island, County Mayo for alleged breaches of Covid-19 regulations
The owner of an Achill bar
Has learned the authorities are
Quite willing to act
If they think it’s a fact
That the right rules aren’t in place so far

Taoiseach Micheál Martin (left) and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson meet at Hillsborough, Northern Ireland last month
Now Johnson’s proposing a bill
That experts are confident will
Cause much shock and awe
By flouting the law
Will this lead to good or to ill?

An Oxford University Covid vaccine trial has been put on hold due to an adverse reaction in a trial participant
In these times we all want to hear
That a vaccine could be drawing near
So a pause in a trial
Even just for a while
Is unlikely to lead to much cheer

The Government is set to reopen pubs which do not serve food on September 21
The day’s fast approaching us when
Wet pubs might reopen and then
We’ll have pints once more
But we’ve been here before
And they could just delay it again

During his weekly blessing, Pope Francis said gossip is ‘a plague worse than Covid’
I’ve heard that the Pontiff has said
To keep your thoughts safe in your head
And always refuse
To stand up and accuse
Those who wrong you. Just shut up instead.

Pub record-keeping regulations ordered by Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly
Some people in government feel
They need to keep track of each meal
That’s served in a bar
And the publicans are
Unconvinced that the plan is ideal

‘Wet pubs’ – pubs not serving food – could reopen their doors in early October
Some government ministers think
That it’s time to go back to the drink
Just wait a month, then
We can have scoops again
Unless do-gooders kick up a stink

Yes and No campaigns in New Zealand’s upcoming referendum on the legalisation and taxation of cannabis are split at 49.5% each
Of late it’s been widely agreed
That New Zealand’s a fine place indeed
But the voters are split
If you ask them is it
A smart move to legalise weed

A man in Brisbane, Australia found two massive snakes (above) in his home which had fallen through his kitchen ceiling
An Aussie who likes to partake
Of some tea got up one day to make
A nice calming brew
But the next thing he knew
He was staring at a massive snake
