US Vice President-Elect Mike Pence at Trump Tower, NYC yesterday

The fascists are feeling the urge
To clean themselves out with a purge
After only a week
Their team starts to creak
As rivalries start to emerge.

The swingers who search while online
For excitement that’s brief and divine
Are now feeling the heat
Not from some kinky treat
They’ve been hacked by a villainous swine.

They gathered to gaze on the sight
Of Grafton Street bathed in pale light
Just to hear someone say
That the band wouldn’t play
Which seemed a poor end to the night.

Conor McGregor (right) and  Eddie Alvarez (left( at a UFC press conference yesterday

A tired luvvie in a fur coat
Tried to grab the world’s press by the throat
But his act with a chair
Failed to go anywhere
And his one-liners hit a bum note.

Jim Corr: voted Trump as the ‘lesser of two evils’

There once a pop star called Jim
Outspoken and just a bit dim
When the yanks made their choice
He added his voice
Against her and in favour of him.

I woke up today and learned that
Some small balls of foul smelling fat
Have come from the west
And experts have guessed
That they oozed from the new plutocrat.

A BBC story has shown
The shape of the new Toblerone
Now it’s copping the flack
In an online attack
Oh why can’t they leave it alone?

Legislators Sixtus Leung (left) and Yau Wai-ching at a pro-independence rally in Hong Kong yesterday.

It looks like it’s all going wrong
In the once-happy land of Hong Kong
Some there would like to see
Themselves slightly more free
But Beiing’s response has been strong.

Each child in the land wants to know
Will this weekend bring us some snow
Well, probably not
But it sure won’t be hot
So wrap yourself tight tomorrow.

It seems that the prospect of Trump
Is causing a stock market slump
As he screams “Build a wall”
His own profits fall
And I hope that this gives him the hump.
