US President Obama honours Ellen DeGeneres With the Presidential Medal Of Freedom last week.

You know Ellen, who works on TV?
She got a day out in DC
But was left outside
As the staff denied
Her entry without some ID.

Elderly Japanese can swap their driving licences for a ramen set meal for 500 yen at the Sugakiya chain

When Japanese people retire
And let their driving license expire
A big tasty tub
Of discount price grub
Is just the thing that they require.

Philip Lane, the Governor of the Central Bank, yesterday

The Central Bank say they deplore
The chance that house prices might soar
They already are
So they’re raising the bar
And waiting until they rise more.

Garda Commissioner Noirin O’Sullivan.

A Garda who uses gmail
Does not sound like much of a tale
But after this year
I’m gripped with the fear
That someone will want her in jail.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, who may cut the UK’s corporation tax rate to below 15 per cent, and Taoiseach Enda Kenny at 10 Downing Street last July

Some business types gather today
To hear the Prime Minister say
She’ll cut tax to the floor
Then cut it some more
Corporations should not have to pay.

Eoghan Murphy, junior minister at the Department of Finance

So many are feeling the pain
As insurance fees rocket again
But one bright young man
Has an excellent plan
You’re still screwed, but they’ll have to explain.

Justin Barrett, president of ‘The National Party’

The same people gather each year
To launch a new force based on fear
At the Merrion Hotel
It didn’t go well
The staff kicked them out on their ear.
