Stephen Donnelly TD

Now everyone’s gagging to know
Where Donnelly’s planning to go
Will Stephen be startin’
A new deal with Martin
Or has Shane Ross stolen the show?

KCNA file picture shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watching the ballistic rocket launch drill of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army at an unknown location

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un watches a ballistic rocket launch at an unknown location.

On Monday it’s lovely to see
North Korea have gone and launched three
Missiles of some kind
Kim Jong-un will find
He’s had his revenge on the sea.

karimov

Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan President

Some people in Tashkent have said
Islam Karimov might be dead
But they’re all a bit scared
To have the news aired
So they’re leaving him there in his bed.

trump

Mexiican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Donald Trump in Mexico City yesterday

In Mexico Trump said the wall
Is going to be built after all
But he didn’t say
Who is going to pay
I guess we’ll find out in the fall.

antiaircraft

Two government officials were executed by anti-aircraft gunfire in North Korea

Remember that chap Ri Yong Jin?
He committed a horrible sin
When business arose
He started to doze
And now sleeps in history’s dustbin.

That talented funnyman Gene
Has sadly departed the scene
He’d bring tears to your eyes
With one of his sighs
Or the way he’d pronounce ‘Fronkensteen‘.

250 years old: The Long Hall, South Great George’s Street, Dublin 2

There’s a pub that has been the downfall
Of many a well planned pub crawl
When you find that your feet
Grow tired on George’s Street
And you stay the night in the Long Hall.

burkini

France’s burkini ban has challenged Muslim integration and French secular values

I prefer to speak well of the French
But they’re causing a hideous stench
One’s clothes on the beach
Should be beyond the reach
Of the state. Don’t let fascists retrench.

Brendan O’Carroll as Agnes Brown in Mrs Brown’s Boys

It’s nice to see Mrs Brown’s Boys
Go to Britain and make a big noise
It will brighten your day
In an old fashioned way
And spread its traditional joys.
