This country can be hard to beat
On the rare times we get some nice heat
Just two days of storm
Before it gets warm
And then everyone’s in for a treat

The English Market, Cork

If you’re someone who likes to pile pork
And other nice food on your fork
Then hit the south west
And put it to the test
Is the real foodie capital Cork?

This story might give you a fright
If you’re one to stay up late at night
The boffins know why
You’re more likely to die
Than one who gets up at first light

When stealing from the boys in blue
There’s one thing you might want to do
Jump up on a table
And see if you’re able
To squeeze out a big dirty poo

Someone to keep mum
About seeing Don’s bum
And Trump’s future has once again faded

A survey has found Irish workers are ‘deprived of sleep and strapped for cash’

I hope that this survey won’t keep
You from getting a decent night’s sleep
We’re anxious and broke
Which isn’t a joke
It’s enough to make anyone weep

Backstage at a UFC fight
A Dubliner gave folk a fright
He threw a hand truck
Which left people shook
It wasn’t a dignified sight.

Some boffins have said they do not
Want to see a new killer robot
For those who are wise
Say the robots will rise
Up and we’ll all find ourselves shot.

US President Donald Trump said yesterday he will send the National Guard to patrol the border with Mexico

At a press conference Donald began
To think of a cunning new plan
He’ll issue an order
“Send troops to the border”
In case Mexico sides with Iran.

Quebec’s L’Extra Camembert won the coveted ‘Best of Class’ award in the camembert category at the 2018 World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin, USA

The news from the world cup of cheese
Has caused the poor French some unease
As Canada’s where
You’ll find Camembert
With a flavour that’s certain to please.
