From Britain the world’s largest fleet,
Have headed to France where they’ll meet,
Six divisions of Hun,
Who they’ll have on the run,
Or left on the beach like dead meat.

I’m not sure that we chose the best week,
To receive a guest from Mozambique,
With so much going wrong,
We can’t claim that we’re strong,
And not on a long losing streak.

A brand new political swarm,
Will soon take the country by storm,
They’re bound to delight,
The Catholic Right,
And they’ll call this reaction “reform”.

The credit crunch didn’t preclude,
The Irish from eating their food,
So don’t ask a celt,
To tighten his belt,
He can’t, and he might think you’re rude.

So everything’s going awry,
For the CIA’s top Afghan guy,
With his own staff to blame,
For leaking his name,
He’ll now find it tricky to spy.

They’ve found a bug called Tinkerbell,
And big cuddly bear cat as well,
But most forms of life,
Face hardship and strife,
And too many still hear the death knell.

There’s a vote at the end of this week,
So nobody’s going to speak,
About whether this deal,
Is a sham or is real,
Let’s ignore all the poor and the meek.

Politicians stab backs now and then,
It’s never an “if”, it’s a “when”,
And the Tánaiste knows,
That before the cock crows,
Phil will deny him once again.

A man with a face like a rump,
Has given some hippies the hump,
Let them shout themselves hoarse,
It’s all par for the course,
For a businessman like Donald Trump

I just can’t begin to think who,
Would ever see Russians and boo,
Must these musical twins,
Pay for Vladimir’s sins?
Please tell me that this isn’t true.
