Beavers are to be introduced on land managed by the English National Trust as part of plans to ease flooding

Well nobody thinks that it’s good
When their house is subsumed by a flood
But it seems that the beaver
Could be the reliever
Of water in your neighbourhood

From top: North Korea leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump: Trump’s tweet ‘defending’ Joe Biden

So Trump would like people to know
He doesn’t think Democrat Joe
Is a rabid cur
As it seems that Kim’s slur
Is further than Donald would go

Researchers have found that some people have more reason to doubt their fathers than others,

It’s enough to make someone quite mad
To find you have a secret dad
But in urban life
It seems many a wife
Is tempted to do something bad

Berlin’s politicians are fine-tuning a redevelopment plan for a 3.2-acre site around Checkpoint Charlie (above)  that includes a cold war museum and apartments

It’s been thirty years since the fall
Of Berlin’s great dividing wall
But its once mighty gate
Is in a sorry state
If you go there it’s bound to appal.

A court has heard a taxi driver ripped off passengers by secretly using a remote control to add €9 to fares

Taxi passengers may get a scare
As the newspapers make them aware
There’s a chance that their lift
Was part of a grift
Which strikes me as rather unfair

A US fighter jet pilot reads a book in a selfie taken during a flight

It takes concentration to fly
A jet fighter high in the sky
And studies have shown
Not to mess with your phone
It seems all these pilots are high

US President Donald Trump put the Ukraine crisis on ice to work out how to buy Greenland, it is claimed

It took effort to try to restrain
Trump from betraying Ukraine
The sad reason why:
Hy was trying to buy
Greenland. He’s smart and he’s sane.
