With duties this high you know you’ll,
Not want to be played for a fool,
So go to the border,
And place a big order,
And fill up with tax exempt fuel.

NBC’s Brian Williams

A newsreader’s had to say why,
He once told a whopping great lie,
The dirty old liar,
Said he came under fire,
In Iraq, somewhere up in the sky.

Snow-chucking tykes in The Dublin mountains, Winter 2013.

All weekend a strong wind did blow,
And the temperature’s plummeting so,
We might see tonight,
The country turn white,
As we get the year’s first fall of snow.

The verdict is looking quite rum,
For the ex-Anglo head honcho Drumm,
Judge Bailey was wise,
To all of his lies,
And he’s left David feeling quite glum.

The Kim Jong-Un death scene from The Interview (2014)

If you’re after a nice bit of fun,
Don’t mess with the great Kim Jong-un,
When Hollywood tried,
Their computers were fried,
And as usual our hero won.

Our number one citizen, Squee,
Has gone to the land that grows tea,
To take in the sights,
And not mention rights,
When chatting to President Xi.

The boffins at google have said,
That a board game that talks to the dead,
Is the number one gift,
And sales are so swift,
That we’ll all enjoy some yuletide dread.

Sinn Féin TD Mary Lou McDonald last night

A Deputy called Mary Lou,
Wouldn’t leave when the chair asked her to,
Remaining quite calm,
She threw toys from her pram,
‘Till the rest of the chamber withdrew.

If you are employed to make food,
It’s normally thought of as rude,
To sneak off and cram,
Your face full of jam,
Tarts somewhere you can be viewed.

If you want to see a GP,
And you’re old or young it will be free,
But of course I must say,
That you’ll still have to pay,
The doctor a nominal fee.
