Donagh O’Connor with a rare female white lobster caught off Mizen Head, Cork

A fisherman had a wee fright
Which quite quickly turned to delight
For who else can say
That their nephropidae
Has a carapace that’s coloured white?

‘Duke’ next to the giant Lion’s Mane jellyfish washed ashore in Galway

There’s a creature that lives in the sea
The diameter of Michael D
They say that its sting
Is a terrible thing
Which you may or may not cure with wee

A drone image of a circular enclosure in the Boyne Valley close to Newgrange

A rather large henge has been found
Near Meath’s famous burial mound
It’s thanks to the heat
That we’re getting this treat
Who knows what else waits underground?

Yesterday: ‘They Look Giant Henges’

Presidential hopeful, independent Senator Gerard Craughwell

There are rumours that say we might see
A challenger for Michael D
Can Craughwell arrange
A bid for regime change
And finally set Ireland free?

Following Boris Johnson’s resignation yesterday, Jeremy Hunt (above) has been appointed UK’s Foreign Secretary

A fellow called Jeremy Hunt
Has been given a shunt to the front
After making a mess
Of the poor NHS
He’s a fool, and yes I’m being blunt.

Brexit Secretary David Davis, who has been leading UK negotiations to leave the EU, has resigned from government.

A stout honest fellow named Dave
Wrote his resignation and gave
It to Number Ten
And right about then
He dug his political grave

Victoria Road, Killiney, County Dublin last Monday

Can any true patriot blame
Those who cleanse our colonial shame?
These men will not cease
Until we’re at peace
In a land where the streets have no name.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar talks to reporters at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday

It’s an odd move for Leo to choose
To sympathise with Donald’s views
But over some food
In New York, he was rude
About people who work in the news
