When Noonan fell there wasn’t many
Thought FG had future but when he
Stepped up the plate
We all shared his fate
So let’s toast or curse Enda Kenny

Cinema-bound: Artemeis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

If you know an Irish pre-teen
Any colour, once his passport’s green
He could have a howl
Playing Artemis Fowl
And become a star of the big screen

US President Donald Trump (right) with Sergey V. Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, in the White House last week.

Poor Donald just couldn’t keep hush in
A chat with a senior Russian
Diplomatic guy
By which I mean spy
There’s bound to be some repercussion.

Some boffins say you shouldn’t eat
A thick slab of juicy red meat
You can, if you wish
Horse into a fish
But sirloin should be a rare treat

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is considering a US presidential run

Trump could be in for a shock
If he has to take on The Rock
Now Dwayne’s talking sense
But he’s still on the fence
And says he needs time to take stock.

World Limerick Day?

Lizards are getting in the way of a long-delayed railroad project in southern Germany

From Stuttgart we’re hearing some tails
About thousands of creatures with scales
Who are causing great pains
For fans of new trains
And sending their plans off the rails.

US President Donald Trump (left) has fired FBI Director James Comey (right)

There’s really no need to ask why
Trump’s chosen to say his goodbye
To Comey. It’s clear
Nobody should fear
His replacement at the FBI.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny

Now Leo and Simon both cry
Out to Heaven and ask to know why
The Taoiseach’s so slow
In choosing to go
They’re stuck in the longest goodbye

Dooagh beach, Achill Island,  County Mayo before (top) and after (above) April storms that deposited sand back on its strand for the first time since 1984

For decades they had to beseech
The ocean to give back their beach
Now those in the west
Are finally blessed
And once more their life is a peach

Peter Capaldi as profane spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It

Some boffins were left thunderstruck
When they sat down to take a good look
At those who converse
With swear word and curse
And the benefits made them cry “Fuck!”
