Minister for Health Simon Harris TD with a model of St Vincent’s University Hospital

Young Simon has hit a home run
His work on the hospital’s done
And just for a wheeze
He’s handing the keys
To the door of the place to a nun.

In Germany, a centuries-old rule forbids dancing on Good Friday

Today spare a thought for the Hun
Whose laws won’t allow any fun
If they take a chance
And go for a dance
They’re facing a life on the run.

Kim Jong-Un visits a rocket launching site in North Korea

Our hero is standing steadfast
As Imperialist gunboats sail past
What’s needed of course
Is a great show of force
So Saturday will be a blast.

Randy Work asked judge to take into account his ‘genius’ during divorce proceedings

A financier called Randy Work
Demanded in court, with a smirk
A far larger share
Than his ex wife thought fair
As his genius was owed a perk.

North Korea has stepped up its nuclear programme under leader Kim Jong-un (centre)

Now try to hold on to your seat
Kim’s promised us all a big treat
And the people’s armed might
Will deliver the sight
Of America’s total defeat

So some of our deputies think
That it’s okay to fill up with drink
And then go for a drive
You won’t just be alive
You’ll be happy and quite in the pink.

Members of the women’s national football team at a press conference in Liberty Hall yesterday

Some ladies are losing their poise
And making a shrill frightful noise
And letting it show
That none of them know
That soccer’s a game just for boys.
