Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure & Reform Paschal Donohoe TD at a Budget 2018 press briefing yesterday in Government Buildings

If you smoke, or enjoy a fake tan
Or sugary drinks from a can
You won’t like what Paschal
The terrible rascal
Has done with his new fiscal plan.

Lucius, a new species of wasp named after Lucius Malfo from the Harry Potter series

It’s always great fun when a nerd
Gets to read a new latinate word
So what’s the right thing
For a wasp that won’t sting?
Lucius is suitably absurd

Toad Of Toad Hall US President Donald Trump

To say that you coined the word “fake”
Is one hell of a big claim to make
This shabby regime
Is one long bad dream
Oh when will we finally awake?

Passengers leave a train bound for London this morning

In Britain a chap on a train
Stood up and began to explain
That sodomite ways
Can cause transport delays
And give travelers no end of pain.

Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner, who has died aged 91

There once was a fellow called Hugh
Who made all his own dreams come true
He sold magazines
In which young beauty queens
Lay in poses that verged on the blue.
