Jared it seems will not cease
In applying brains and elbow grease
(While ignoring the past
It’s too complex and vast)
And creating a hoax of a peace

Next Sunday – February 2, 2020 – will be the same when written forwards or backwards in whichever date format you choose.
It is with great pleasure I say
We’re approaching a palindrome day
When the date, to be blunt
Can be put back to front
And it somehow ends up the same way

Cookies required two hours of baking time at the International Space Station
If you’re yearning for chocolate chip
While stuck on an orbital ship
They’ve at last won the race
To make cookies in space
But they’re yet to pass anyone’s lip

Stress speeds up the hair greying process, scientists have confirmed
Some boffins at Harvard now say
That the stresses I face every day
Are the reasons why
I’d need to use dye
Or admit that my hair is all grey

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar (left) with Minister for Business Heather Humphries and Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe. An Irish Times/MRBI poll shows 75% of the electorate favour a change of government

The Dáil but it seems a bit strange
That FF will be
Where now sits FG
Which isn’t that much of a change

Volunteers in New Zealand and Spain calculated longitude and latitude to perfectly align both slices of the ‘earth sandwich’
A couple of sandwich fans said
They wanted a treat in their bread
As ham and cheese filling
Is no longer thrilling
They’re using the whole world instead

Irish Rents rose by 40 per cent from 2007 to 2019, the second highest increase in the European Union, according to Eurostat
I’d say you’d feel fairly content
If you’re making your living off rent
So much cash rolls in
That it feels like a sin
As you’re counting the blessings you’re sent

The moustache of US Ambassador Harry Harris, who is Japanese-American, reminds many South Koreans of Japan’s colonial rule
A US ambassador chose
To grow a ‘tache under his nose
But Koreans don’t care
For his facial hair
Which seems an imperialist pose

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hands out ceremonial pens to Democrat colleagues following the signing of Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump yesterday
So many Republican men
Got up on their high horses when
They found out that Nancy
Was fond of a fancy
Ceremonial custom-made pen

Former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn’s escape has inspired internet copycats to fit themselves in
If you find that you have lost face
And want to sneak out of some place
Then folks in the know
Suggest you don’t go
Inside an instrument case
