Rory McIlroy (right) points out a heckler at yesterday’s British Open

I come here in sadness to say
Europe lost to the great USA
There was heartbreak and tears
And mean-spirited jeers
Which I will not repeat, oh no way.

Galway restaurateur JP McMahon

A chap called JP who cooks food
Says restaurant staff can be quite rude
Then goes on to say
That up in Galway
They sometimes end up in the nude.

When Donald and Denis collide
Each patriot must pick a side
Should we let the Don
Take our golden boy on?
It’s actually hard to decide.

Minister for Finance Michael Noonan and Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe at government buildings earlier this month.

Our unfortunate ministers fear
That they won’t get to spread much good cheer
Just two euros a week
But they have the cheek
To call it a hundred a year.

debate

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton ahead of last night’s US Presidential Debate

I stayed up late into the night
To see a magnificent sight
Each of the pair
Had incredible hair
And one spoke incredible shite.

‘Anti-Isis coalition’ including Ireland (top) and without (above)

It turns out the facts weren’t quite right
On a US Defence Force website
It said we were willing
To help with the killing
But Ireland is not in this fight.

Rat Pant, among the strangest scientific research of the year

If you’ve ever figured out that
Polyester looks good on a rat
Or made yourself wise
By studying lies
Then you’re an Ig Nobel copycat.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny with farmer Gerard King at the National Ploughing Championship on Tuesday

The festival we all adore
Is happening near Tullamore
And anytime now
The King of the Plough
Will be crowned and his subjects will roar.
