Fine Gael TD and Government chief whip Regina Doherty

The hard working government whip
Was accused of a bad social slip
By H McEntee
Who reckons that she
Should hold her mouth with a strong zip.

‘Dabbing’ by newly-elected Kansas representative’s son baffles Speaker Paul Ryan

Republican Senator Paul
Doesn’t get teenage culture at all
He won’t have a stab
At doing a dab
Regardless of what may befall.

US president-elect Donald Trump (left) and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 

North Korea’s a bit of a dump
Say’s Putin’s new running dog Trump
But the chances are slim
That our hero Kim
Won’t tell him to take a high jump.

‘Toilet paper’ for smartphones has been introduced in toilets at Narita international airport in Japan

When you sit on a Japanese throne
And play with your high tech smartphone
There’s no need to fear
That there may be germs here
Just relax in a hygenic zone.

A blue corn empanada filled with fried grasshoppers at a food stall in Mexico

This Christmas let’s sit down to eat
A wriggling chitinous treat
With omega 3
And vitamin C
And hopefully six or more feet.

Michael Roux at his two-Michelin-starred London restaurant, Le Gavroche

Michel Roux once starred in a rhyme
He’d been acting like a dirty slime
So now he’s agreed
To give chefs what they need
And he’s paying them back for their time.
