We all know democracy’s shook
By lies that are spread on Facebook
But that rather bright spark
Who set it up, Mark
Is wriggling free from the hook

Gardai say 10 per cent of drink drivers was detected between the hours of 6am-6pm
I’m sure that it’s certain to irk
If you’re caught while you’re going to work
But a single night’s sleep
After driving won’t keep
You from driving like a dangerous jerk

Bob Geldof is being touted in Britain as a post-Brexit ‘unifying figure to promote a feeling of national togetherness’, The Guardian is reporting today
He’s not the first old music star
To start to act rather bizarre
But it seems that Sir Bob
Now wants a new job
If Britain needs a ‘Healing Tsar’.

In Ireland we do like to think
That we’re pretty good with our drink
And when put to the test
It appears we’re the best
So raise up your glasses and clink

Is grounded for now
Many people will think it unfair

NASA yesterday scrapped a planned historic spacewalk by two women astronauts, citing a lack of available spacesuits that would fit them
Women must constantly face
A world where they’re kept in their place
And not just down here
On our earthly sphere
There’s a glass ceiling up there in space

It’s time to decide what to do
With our planet’s surplus of poo
The thought we may drown
In a thick pile of brown
Stuff is awful, but possibly true

Sightings of coypu, a large rodent with bright orange teeth, have been made in the Royal Canal
The residents of Castleknock
Are soon to be in for a shock
A beast like a rat
But far bigger than that
May be lurking round the canal lock

It seems that a super worm moon
Is due to appear rather soon
Though it may wear a shroud
Of thick opaque cloud
Like a grey disappointing cocoon.
