The five-metre albino Burmese python captured at a Gold Coast, Australia home
If you’re suffering fear and heartache
And you don’t know how much your can take

In case, on the floor
There’s a five metre long Burmese snake

North Korea fired two projectiles at the weekend that appeared to be short-range ballistic missiles into the sea off the east coast of the Korean peninsula
All right thinking people agree
It’s time to stand up to the sea
And bould Kilm Jong Un
Is the only one
To fill all of our hearts with glee

The numbers of African black rhinos – a a species driven to near extinction – have risen by several hundred
Far away on an African plain

To go there and shoot

And leave the race to Joe
Or if he’ll continue to Bern

We can go out again
And there’ll be drinks and hugs for us all

Last night: ‘This Is The Calm Before The Storm‘
The National Convention Centre, Dublin yesterday.
We’re settling in for week one
Of an extended absence of fun
So stare at the walls
Or grope your own balls
There’s nothing else now to be done

French chef and restaurateur Michel Roux OBE has died aged 78
Au revoir to Monsieur Michel Roux
Who taught British chefs what to do
He stood up to the plate
And was ready to grate
Cheese over heart warming stew.

Manufacturers of phones, tablets and laptops will face legal obligations to make their products easier to repair and reuse under new EU regulations
Tech companies don’t really care
That your laptop is beyond repair
They all know the score
You’ll just have to buy more
But Europe now says that’s not fair

A third of people in the UK believe Britain’s colonies were better off for being part of an empire
A survey was held to inquire
What people now think of empire
In our neighbouring state
One third think it’s great
That it’s something we all should admire
