Left-wing veteran Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (‘Amlo’) has declared victory in Mexico’s presidential election

It’s all change in old Mexico
Where a fellow they all call Amlo
Has taken control
By topping the poll
I wonder just how this will go

Fianna Fail leader Micheál Martin

This morning there’s cause for good cheer
It seems that we’ll get one more year
Without an election.
The chance of rejection
Gives Micheál a dose of the fear

A familiar, farting unicorn was used to show off Tesla’s sketch pad feature

Elon Musk says that it would be lame
If his theft of a picture became
A question of tort
To be fought out in court:
Cheating artists is merely a game

An updated version of the Drake equation suggests we are all alone in the universe

Our experience so far has shown
That space is a vast lifeless zone
And equations by Drake
Have conclusions that make
It more likely that we’re all alone

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish in Sandycove, County Dublin

There’s a creature that lives in the sea
Which is bigger than it used to be
So if you get a sting
Off this terrible thing
Just sprinkle the sore place with wee.

It’s a big day for those who might fear
That they’ll miss the event of the year
So get online and book
Or you’ll be a bit shook
And won’t see Pope Francis appear.

Harley-Davidson motorbikes are earmarked for tariffs in a EU-US trade war

The G7 couldn’t persuade
Trump not to put tariffs on trade
So a yank motorbike
Will have a price hike
You might want to stick to home made

US President Donald Trump said he wants America to have a “space force”

When fascists put children in cages
And don’t want that on the front pages
They launch a new race
To put soldiers in space
Which is evil and sad and outrageous
