London receptionist Nicola Thorp, sent home from PwC for not wearing high heels
Some prominent businessmen feel
A woman should show off her heel
To please some old jerk
She puts up with at work
It makes Mad Men seem awfully real.

Remember, if you’re ever Queen,
Never to say anything mean,
At least not to the faces,
Of the lesser races,
You’re not to be heard, only seen.

I’m so pleased I can hardly speak
We’ve soared past our previous peak,
And those who charge rent,
Can do as they’re meant,
And squeeze you till they make you squeak.

Minister for Health Simon Harris
Is it true, could it finally be
The end of our great HSE?
Will a hospital trust
Be much better? It must
So the sick will have to wait and see.

Enda Kenny (right) at government buildings, Dublin
It seems that a new deal is done,
That Enda is the risen one
They’ve a big job to do,
For a year, maybe two,
And I hope that they have lots of fun.

The first Golden Eagle chick bred in captivity at Newgrange Falconry, Co Louth
Some animal rights people say
We should reintroduce birds of prey
Which sounds well and good
Till your whole neighbourhood
Is pounced on and carried away.

Former Republican presidential candidate, Senator Ted Cruz
Spread tidings of joy and great cheer
For this will be a beautiful year
It’s a damn shame to lose
A nice guy like Ted Cruz
But it’s time for the triumph of fear.

Public lavatory demolition, College Green, Dublin 2
This morning’s news may leave you blue,
It’s as heartbreaking as it is true,
I’m sorry my friend,
But at the weekend,
They dismantled our last public loo.

Socialist Party TD Paul Murphy outside the Criminal Courts of Justice, Dublin yesterday
It’s lovely to see that TDs,
Can get help paying their legal fees,
This may cause some rage,
If you look at his wage,
But at least the nice fellow said please.

Micheál Martin (right) and Enda Kenny at government buildings last Christmas
I never thought I’d live to see,
The day when FF and FG,
Would bite back the pain,
And share a gravy train,
And lead us to prosperity.
