Amber Rudd, who has resigned as Britain’s Home Secretary
Let’s face it, we all think it’s good
That we’ll see no more of Amber Rudd
Could Prime Minister May
Depart the same way
Fingers crossed, ’cause she certainly should.

From left Donald Trump (United States president), Moon Jae-in (South Korea president) and Kim Jong-un (North Korea leader)
We’ve waited for the moment when
The two leaders shake hands and then
When Moon talks to Kim
Can he persuade him
To build a nation once again?

The heart of St Laurence O’Toole was stolen from Christ Church Cathedral in 2012
Was stealing this old body part
A bold act of Dadaist art?
Now after six years
There’ll be clapping and cheers
As St Laud’s Chapel gets back its heart

John Magnier, who’s known to be shrewd
Once purchased a well painted nude
Now it’s back up on sale
And he’ll have a whale
Of a time with the cash he’s accrued

Irish Water propose to pump 300 million litres of water daily from the River Shannon at Parteen Basin (above) to meet the future water demands of the Greater Dublin area
Irish Water have said that it’s best
That they build a big pipe to the west
It’s worth it, they think
To let Dublin drink
But the locals are far from impressed

How to talk to your kids about sex?
That’s a problem that’s bound to perplex
But don’t worry, it’s fine
They’ll just go online
And get sucked into porn’s dark vortex

Anita Sethi (right) was told by BritaIn’s Prince Charles she didn’t look like she came from Manchester
Charles thinks that you shouldn’t be brown
If you come from Manchester town
Which is racist and sad
And just like his dad
The bigoted miserable clown

A selection of British-grown ‘pulses’, dried legume seeds including lentils, chickpeas, beans and peas
We all know it’s high time to start
Eating food that is good for one’s heart
And beans with each meal
Will soon make you feel
Fantastic. (You may also fart.)

Cuba’s vice president Miguel Diaz-Canel is expected to be named as successor to Raul Castro
Will change come to Havana town
As the last of the Castros steps down?
Well his right hand man
Will continue the plan
So there’s no need for comrades to frown.

In China it’s sad but it’s true
That there’s not always somewhere to poo
But their friends in Japan
Have come up with a plan
To build jacks that are shiny and new
