Pro-refugee demonstration in Dublin, September 2015
When we offered a helping hand,
To thousands from a foreign land,
We expected plenty,
But only got twenty,
The rest said “Don’t bother, you’re grand.”

Today is remarkably blue,
But go for a walk,
And have a nice talk,
Cheer someone else up, and them you.

We were offered a sweet moment when,
We could visit the nineties again,
But alas, in the end,
They’ll be missing one Friend,
It’s The One Without All Of The Men.

US president Barack Obama delivers his final State of the Union address last night
Obama has addressed the state,
One last time before they get eight,
Full years of D Trump,
To clean up that dump,
Don’t you envy America’s fate?

Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall at the Rugby World Cup Final 2015
Old Rupert and young Jerry Hall,
Have news that may just appall,
His newspaper’s said,
That the pair will be wed,
Which is charming, not creepy at all.

Us Earthlings are left feeling low,
As Ziggy’s decided to go,
Back to outer space,
To rejoin his race,
And put on a heavenly show.

Loudspeakers facing North Korea at a South Korea border post
They’re jealous of those on the top,
So Seoul is now blasting K-pop,
Right over the border,
It’s right out of order,
And petty. They really should stop.

The markets have had quite a scare,
About China, a big country where,
Things are going wrong,
From Beijing to Hong Kong,
A problem they’re willing to share.
