It’s time now to stand up and clap,
They’ve worked out a deal on the CAP,
It seems that the farmers,
Those silver tongued charmers,
Will get paid if they don’t do a tap.

O’Leary wants planes so he gets,
A huge pile of new jumbo jets,
So please Boeing, please,
Make him pay extra fees,
And don’t offer any regrets

There once was an old Argentine,
Who did magic with bread and with wine,
So under a dome,
Some cardinals in Rome,
Gave him the keys to their shrine.

He’s habemus a laugh!
Redemption for last night’s VatirickGate?
Or can you do better?
All limericks by 2.30pm. 3.30pm
Normal rick-off rules apply.

Update: winner:
There once was an Argentine fella
Was pals with dictator Videla
He turned a deaf ear
Made priests disappear
And now bears the flag white and yella

It’s frightening! How will we cope?
As all of our ministers slope,
To lands overseas,
We’re begging them, please,
Without them we haven’t a hope.

I think that we all can agree,
That this day we’ve been waiting to see,
So well done, and fair play,
The the bould Doctor Gay,
Who has cured a child of HIV.

This morning’s news really is splendid,
Our national nightmare has ended,
So let’s all buy houses,
And get trophy spouses,
As logic is once more suspended.

Just as his career’s gone adrift,
James Reilly gets stuck in a lift,
A tale laced with nectar,
For the public sector,
The whole thing’s a satirist’s gift.

I really don’t mean to besmirch,
The Pope as his Cardinals search,
For a man full of praise,
Who can take on the gays,
Who seem to be running the church.
