US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson after being sacked yesterday

By Rex I was never inspired
His ideas left much to be desired
Now he and one more
Have been pushed out the door
Is anyone left there unfired?

Muldoon’s is among three pubs in Donconrath, County Meath to close on Good Friday

In Drumconrath the publicans think
That we should have a day without drink
The new law they’ve opposed
But while the pub’s closed
Will they serve with a nod and a wink?

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas yesterday

A guy who designs fancy cars
Has said that we must settle Mars
What’s this colony for?
To survive a world war
Let’s face it: his head’s in the stars

US President Donald Trump will Meet North Korea’s Kim Jong-un in May

Some great news to start off your day
For Kim and Trump will meet by May
I hope they increase
The chances of peace
And not kick off a nuclear affray

The ‘Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Leprechauns’ in Dublin, 2011

Have you heard that a certain TD
Has asserted that you’ll never see
A real leprechaun
Standing proud on your lawn?
Take a guess who this TD might be.

The Irish tricolour turns 170 on March 17

It’s a hundred and seventy years old
And a marvelous thing to behold
So hoist it to great height
But please get it right
The third bar is orange, not gold.

French President Emmanuel Macron is a wine connoisseur

Macron says he reckons it’s fine
To guzzle a big glass of wine
As he’s eating a meal
But some doctors feel
The effects could be less than benign.

There is little evidence linking back pain with slouching or bad posture

If ever you’re told by a quack
That the way to avoid a sore back
Is never to slouch
When you sit on a couch
Don’t listen, just give him a smack

UK Prime Minsiter Theresa May with European Council President Donald Tusk in Downing Street yesterday.

At long last Prime Minister May
Will outline just how the UK
Will drive off a cliff
The question is if
She’s finally chosen a way.

Some of Liam Gallagher’s tweets to his 2.8million followers yesterday

Liam Gallagher isn’t impressed
By Noel, who he thinks is a pest
But bad as things are
Is it going too far
To say that he’s like Frederick West?
