All kinds of benefits reduced,
And property tax gets a boost,
But still no suspensions,
Of ministers’ pensions,
As the vultures all come home to roost.

In the Four Courts harsh words have been flung,
At the auditors from Ernst & Young,
But the IBRC,
Have now hired them, you see,
This whole affair reeks of fresh dung.

Former District Court Judge Heather,
Will shortly have to decide whether,
Her clumsy inception,
Of sneaky deception,
Was such a smart move altogether.

It’s the High Court case of the year
It’s got tabloid hacks shaking with fear,
For their tale about Louis,
Turned out to be hooey,
If you ask me the whole thing sounds queer.

A naked bronze man, Aspiration,
Should have been our own representation,
But the thought of those balls,
Dangling over his walls,
Drove poor Johnny R to frustration.

It really enrages me when,
They award those who work with a pen,
Like Banville, O’Brien,
And young Donal Ryan,
But overlook limericks again.

Roast a turkey and fill the punch bowl,
Fly Old Glory from a totem pole,
It’s the day that the Yanks,
Gather round and give thanks,
To the people whose country they stole.

With our country so damaged by greed,
It’s good to see Gardaí succeed,
At taking on crime,
For I must say that I’m,
So relieved to be saved from this weed.

Tom Crapper’s wonderful invention,
Is so common we don’t stop to mention,
That one third of our race,
Must seek out a dark place,
So today let’s pay them some attention.
