Steve Whitmire (above right) has voiced Kermit the Frog for 27 years

An American actor called Steve
Has recently found cause to grieve
He failed to address
An ethical mess
So The Muppets have asked him to leave.

The All Blacks thought they couldn’t lose
The test with the Lions a cruise
But the Lions proved tougher
And meaner and rougher
And the All blacks Slunk off amidst boos!

Martin Cahill

A geezer named Donald Trump,
Gave most of the world the hump
When he said to them all
I’ll build a big wall
And the brickies ill pay on the lump

Mick O’Brien

I once knew a dolphin called Jim
Who went and forgot how to swim.
He quite nearly drowned,
Jumped up on the ground,
And prayed ’til he sprouted a limb.

Darren Hughes

An eager young beaver named Leo
Was Enda’s pretend Alter Ego
Til one day with a shout
He cried, “please let me out!”
And now he’s Fine Gael’s Padre Pio

Frances Browner

There is a wonderful place in the west
A City which is the very best
The People, the Places and all the smiling faces
A step above all the rest.

The scene after a truck full of eels overturned over cars on an Oregon highway yesterday

After many hours spent on four wheels
Your passengers may dream of meals
But this doesn’t mean
That what should be seen
Is three and a half tonnes of eels.

Mince on toast, declared a ‘quintessential British food classic’

We all know our neighbours can boast
Some tasty treats to put on toast
They’ll pour beans and say please
To mountains of cheese
But mince is the thing they like most.

Loyalists in Belfast defy ruling by adding to their Eleventh Night bonfire preparations

If you’re in the six counties tonight
You might catch a heartwarming sight
When our friends in Belfast
Show their love of the past
By setting the whole place alight.

Meanwhile…

Stephen Tighe, injured during the Pamplona bull run

A fellow called Stephen from Naas
Took a trip to a faraway place
Unbeknownst to his wife
He risked his own life
And got gored by a bull in a race.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney

When Simon expects you to fly
Get flying, and I’ll tell you why
Quite soon you will find
The fog’s all in your mind
And there’s no chance at all that you’ll die.
