US Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (above) emerged as the Republican front-runner in the Iowa caucus last night
Remember that fellow called Trump?
His figures have started to slump,
The Don didn’t choose,
To go out and lose,
But Teddy Boy gave him a thump.

Dr Omar Hassan, who mistook an Xray of an ankle for an arm
A doctor’s a chap who should know,
A sore foot from a broken elbow,
And if he gets it wrong,
Just send him along,
With a reference that can’t help but glow.

In Cheshire they’re trying to trace,
A man with a badly drawn face,
And a short stubby beard,
That looks downright weird,
The whole thing’s a shoddy disgrace.

The proud Irish brand Supermac’s,
Is subject to savage attacks,
They won’t let it trade,
With the name that it’s made,
By selling its nutritious snacks.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani opens a book he gave to Pope Francis as a gift at the Vatican on Tuesday.
I see the top chaps from Iran,
Will soon tuck into foie gras and flan,
Though they may skip the wine,
When they sit down to dine,
On a meal served with Gallic élan.

The stock image which has sold for €1million
A chap took a snap of a spud,
And a businessman thought it so good,
That right there, in a trice,
He paid a high price,
And you know that you would, if you could.

Irish Times’ tech supplement ‘Innovation’
The boys in the lab say they know,
That perpetual motion won’t go,
But has this smart mick,
Come up with the trick,
To make Steorn the answer? God no.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny (centre) and economist Joseph Stiglitz (second right) at Davos
A boffin called Stiglitz has said,
That we’re almost out of the red,
After several years,
Of hunger and tears,
So he gave us a pat on the head.

Are we finally getting round two,
Of S.O.S. and Voulez Vous?
When all’s said and done,
It would be so much fun,
For us all, knowing me, knowing you.

Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter in alignment
We’ll soon see a beautiful sight,
As the stars seem to line up just right,
But those who are wise,
Know Cthulhu will rise,
And bow to his terrible might.
