Our President thought of a scheme
To give everybody ice cream
So down by the pier
He drew a loud cheer
When he finally realised his dream.

We’re trying, but can’t find a way
To predict what the Donald will say
He grabs his phone and
With his tiny hand
Makes “covfefe” the word of the day.

FGHIT!

Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May during last night’s Battle For Number 10

The chattering classes all say
That Corbyn did better than May
There’s a mountain to climb
In bugger all time
Can Jeremy now find a way?

A dolphin’s carcass was found at the Parchment Square Student Accommodation complex on the Model Farm Road, Cork.

Some animals’ rights types have said
That a dolphin, even if it’s dead
Shouldn’t come to a bash
Where a lad on the lash
Might carry it over his head.

Today on 96FM’s The Opinion Line, PJ Coogan spoke to Captain Paul Watson, of The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, about his offer of a €2,000 reward in relation to individuals seen dancing with a sea creature in the Parchment Square complex. (Some reports call it a dolphin but the species is uncertain).

US Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Gianforte addresses supporters in Helena, Montana

Republican Congressman Greg
Who looks like a rather bad egg
Says he’ll drain the swamp
But mainly just stomp
On reporters. He’s a powder keg.

 Dublin Docklands last Summer

The mercury’s rising once more
And today we’ll see temperatures soar
It will feel grotesque
When you’re stuck at your desk
And sweat oozes from every pore.

Dara O’Briain’s letter from Theresa May reading: ‘Dear Dara and Briain’.

Well deep down I think we all knew
That Dara has always been two
Quite separate men
It was confirmed when
Theresa wrote that it was true.

Fine Gael leadership contender Simon Coveney launches his ‘policy priorities’ in the Dean Hotel, Dublin  yesterday

Though he knows that he won’t take first place
Old Simon has stayed in the race
He’s accepted his fate
To hang on and wait
Until Leo has egg on his face.

US president Donald Trump at a press briefing in The White House yesterday

Now Donal’s been forced to confront
What he’s calling the greatest witch hunt
But he’s holding the line
He still says Russia’s fine
And the whole thing is merely a stunt.
