Members of Renua, including leader Lucinda Creighton (centre), at the party’s General Election 2016 manifesto launch in Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin yesterday

Lucinda thinks tax on your car,
Mercedes, Rolls, or Jaguar,
Should go, but the fool,
Wants to raise tax on fuel,
And Newry is not very far.

Tommy Maloney’s Irish sausages

On every American fork,
This Christmas there’ll be Irish pork,
And jam, scones and tea,
Will fill paddies with glee,
In Los Angeles and in New York.

Beechwood Luas, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 during a stoppage last February

In news that commuters won’t like,
There’s talk of a January strike,
So if you won’t shirk,
Your duties at work,
You’ll have to rise early and hike.

Roz Purcell with Donald Trump During ‘Miss Universe’, 2011

Some terrible news for the Don,
His political future is gone,
And simply because,
He’s been slammed by Roz,
I can’t see how he can go on.

Outside the Chinese Theatre, Hollywood before the world premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens

It’s a red letter day for the geeks,
Who’ve been sleepless and giddy for weeks,
Now at the first sight,
Of the Falcon in flight,
They’re emitting some satisfied squeaks.

Marine Le Pen, leader of French National Front (FN) political party leader 

At the weekend the National Front,
Almost pulled off one hell of a stunt,
But the left helped the right,
Where they led in the fight,
Le Pen fell in the heel of the hunt.
