When you’re floating far beyond our sky

Gardai in Dublin will operate a ‘zero tolerance’ and confiscate alcohol in public places over the Bank holiday weekend
If you’re someone who thinks that it’s neat
To chug a swift beer on the street
The Gardaí may choose
To seize all your booze
And bring themselves home a nice treat

UK Prime Minister Theresa May in the House of Commons yesterday as MPs voted to reject a no-deal Brexit.
The MPs now turn their attention

Or have Brexit Day
With the deal made by May
Or stay paralysed in dissension

So now a poor fox
Will go home in a box
If only he’d known in advance

UK Attorney General Geoffrey Cox yesterday made a bawdy reference to his role in trying to make changes to the Northern Ireland backstop

Will Britannia soon get her release?
We’re just waiting for Cox
To pull up his socks
And stop talking about his codpiece.

Socialist Party TD Paul Murphy suggests a Trotsky-like ‘united front’ against Sinn Féin’s “nationalist, pro-capitalist’ agenda in internal party documents

With the tactics of Leon Trotsky
And if battles are fought
Using critical thought
Then we’ll march to a left victory

Yesterday: Hard To Swallow
The skull of “The Crusader” (above) taken from a crypt in St. Michan’s church, Dublin
The guards have recovered the head
Of someone eight hundred years dead
Which was stolen last week
By a vandalous clique
Who should sleep on a hard Mountjoy bed

Some vegans might get a bit mad
To hear that their lifestyle’s a fad
According to these
People who sell us cheese
Are they biased? Well maybe a tad
