The government is to introduce a levy of up to 25 cent on a disposable coffee cup
When you’re buying a fresh morning Joe
Do you take your coffee to-go?
Then you’ll soon face a levy
Which won’t be too heavy
But I thought that you might like to know

Facebook’s new logo (above) will begin appearing across its services such as Instagram and Whatsapp
Now Zuckerberg feels a bit shook
By the news so he wants a new look
For his number one line
But the new redesign
Just looks like his Caps Lock is stuck.

The White House has refused to say the US president Donald Trump did not offer the leader of Ukraine a quid pro quo involving military aid and the investigation of his political rivals.
So everyone’s desperate to know

So we’re stuck with this mess
Until it’s time for him to go

An investigation into a hoax Nobel Prize call earlier this month to writer John Banville (above) has revealed it was not made from the offices of the Swedish Academy
It’s a phone call that’s certain to stun
When an author is told they have won
The great Nobel Prize
But quickly realise
Some prankster was just having fun

Against drivers who blare on their horn
While they drive underground
As it seems that the sound
Is something that cannot be borne

US President Donald Trump (centre) at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Convention yesterday in Chicago.
Chicago’s love of immigration

To do as she’s told
And has notions far above her station

In Camden there’s a museum where
They honour the bits found down there
But the fact you can sup
From a non furry cup
Has given the neighbours a scare

US Republican Senator John Thune (centre)) with Senator. Roy Blunt (left) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said a top envoy’s testimony about Ukraine ‘is not a good one’
A Republican mutters disdain
About what Trump did with Ukraine
This is no great surprise
Support would be unwise
In fact it would barely be sane

A boil water notice continues for people living in parts of counties Dublin, Kildare and Meath – affecting approximately 600,000 people- supplied by the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant.
The authorities have had to slap
A big warning on your kitchen tap
And so woe betide
To Dublin’s north side
They must boil or they’ll be drinking crap
