The Arctic global seed vault has reached 1m varieties stored in its deep freeze.
The boffins are widely agreed
That protecting the Earth’s stock of seed
Would be very nice
So up in the ice

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar during the final TV leaders’ debate at the RTE studios in Donnybrook, Dublin. 4 on February 4, 2020

There are far fewer flies
Now I bet you regret voting Green

Before it’s too late
And real life ruins your fantasy
