It’s high time that we all began
To fry some thin cakes in a pan
While in two other pots
Cook mushrooms, shallots
And add creme fraiche to finish the plan

The mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity.
Some boffins who teach up in Trinity
Have focused their minds on infinity
Which has applications
In complex equations
And may shed some light on Divinity

In Tokyo there’s a public school
Which adopted a rather odd rule
“You can’t come in here
Without Armani gear”
As cheaper clothes look so uncool.

A mass scuffle during the Mayo Vs Meath All-Ireland football final, 1996
The Congress of the GAA
Will be meeting before long to say
They’ve come up with a rule
For when losing one’s cool
Becomes an official melee.

US President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, at Bastille Day military parade in Paris last July

And demanded an army parade
Where soldiers can prance
Like what happens in France
In a tawdry and sad masquerade.

A television screen on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday
If you sneak a quick peek at the Dow
It won’t take you long to see how
All the prices are down
But there’s no need to frown
As you’ll pick up some great bargains now

I’m not quite convinced I can cope
For this new fad for cutting up soap
It’s gone viral online
But I fear it’s a sign
That our species is far beyond hope.

Former Ireland President Mary McAleese
In the Vatican on Women’s Day
Our Mary will not have her say
They asked her to talk
But told her to walk
‘Cause she says it’s not wrong to be gay

British Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in Bejing yesterday
Mrs May gave a new DVD
To China’s top communist Xi
About creatures that ought to
Thrive under the water
If we stopped throwing crap in the sea

When showing kids Paddington Bear
It’s vital that you take good care
I’m sure you’ll agree
You don’t want them to see
Any nipples, or worse, pubic hair.
