The chap who you’ve seen on Top Gear,
Likes to joke and to shock and to jeer,
But it’s hard to escape,
When your words are on tape,
And it’s looking bad for your career

I was shocked when I heard people say,
They arrested the beard yesterday.
We’ve all made peace and,
Drawn a line in the sand,
And he wasn’t in the IRA.

In the old days one would look askance,
At people who frolic and prance,
Till Michael and Jean,
Arrived on the scene,
And made the world love Riverdance.

Israel has decided to freeze,
American efforts to ease,
The horrors and fears,
That all we’ve all watched for years,
They’re holding the balls, so they squeeze.

Johnny Ronan has plans to bestow,
Some money on NAMA although,
He would prefer not,
To hand over his yacht,
No he said no he said no.

The headlines are all looking grave,
For Ruairi, who yesterday gave,
An unpopular speech,
To people who teach,
And also like to misbehave.

Some organised and disciplined,
Protestors will take on the wind,
They’ll march day and night,
And keep up the fight,
Till they get our whole atmosphere binned.

There’s little in life that compares,
To the strangeness of foreign affairs,
While Ukraine faces war,
Some people are more,
Concerned with the price of their shares.

If you’re one of the people who say,
That life is too dangerous today,
To avoid life’s cruel sting,
Stay under the wing,
Of Wunsy, the African Grey.

[Irish State banquet, Windsor Castle, last night]
In a castle just over the sea,
A queen and our own Michael D,
Had a jolly nice meal,
As they tried to conceal,
The dark parts of our shared history.
