The Church Of England has accused The National Trust and Cadbury of ‘airbrushing faith’.

This Easter is anyone brave
Enough to take a stand and save
Traditional sweets
Or are Our Lord’s treats
With Cadbury in the grave?

Old Trump struck a menacing tone
When he said he’ll take Kim on alone
But he’ll cause no unease
Among the Chinese
As his penchant for bullshit’s well known.

Heuston station this morning as secondary picketing takes place at several locations associated with the Bus Éireann dispute

All cabinet ministers are
Awarded a driver and car
So they say “laissez faire”
For why would you care
About little folk when you’re a tsar?

Passing Out Parade, Garda College, Templemore, County Tipperary in 2015

The papers are now all abuzz
With scandals concerning the fuzz
To build up a stash
Of wrongly lodged cash
Is just what an officer does.

Today’s UK Daily Mail

When Great Britain wakes up and begs
For news then the tabloid world’s dregs
Are certain to fail
For those at the Mail
Have just learned that women have legs.

Minister for Transport Shane Ross

Some air bosses are asking why
Ross showed up and then said goodbye
Their proposals are just
On his shelf, gathering dust
If he’s winging it why should they try?

US President Donald Trump at a rally in Nashville, Tennessee yesterday

The fate of a nation’s healthcare
Is suddenly up in the air
They can’t reach accord
And the president’s bored
It’s all gone the shape of a pear.

Garda Reservists in Templemore College, County Tipperary in 2014

Do you like to dress up in blue
And tell normal folk what to do?
Well if you’ve got the nerve
For the Garda Reserve
Then all of your dreams can come true.

Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó’Fearghaíl

A TD who’s no fashion plate
Is a menace to our little state
The lack of a tie
Makes the simple folk cry
We need pinstripes to make Ireland great.
