President Michael D Higgins wants gambling removed from sport
Our president reckons it’s bad

And an outright ban would make him glad

Monk Daniel Kimura said he deeply regretted swearing in one of the responses
Some Buddhist monks out in Japan
Came up with a badly flawed plan
They decided to get
Themselves on the net
But gave the job to the wrong man

A mosaic image of the region on Mars where the presumed water (in blue) is.
They’ve found water under the ice
On Mars, so will this entice
Us to launch a new race
And journey to space
And live in a red paradise?

Friday’s blood moon will be the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century

The Imperial Russian Cruiser Dmitriy Donskoi rumoured to contain 200 tons of gold when it sank
If there’s truth in the tales that they’ve told
Some Koreans have found lots of gold
But you should beware
Of buying a share
Before we see what will unfold

One company gives a great perk
Its staff all spend less time at work
So if you employ
Please help spread this joy
And don’t be a miserable jerk.

But folks like to cleave
To the stories they weave
So telling them can cause some friction

In Coppers a fellow named John
Met a woman with whom he got on
But to his dismay
The very next day
He found her phone number had gone.
