Pro-life senator Jim Walsh in the seanad yesterday

A mention of her hemorrhoid,
Left Senator Bacik annoyed,
Much venom was flung,
And a lot of it stung,
And the chamber’s decorum destroyed.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace at Shannon Airport, July 2014

In events that some people call thick,
The outspoken Deputy Mick,
Himself with the hair,
And that other one, Clare,
Spent a couple of hours in the nick.

Sligo Fianna Fáil councillor Joe Queenan on RTÉ Investigates last night

An unfortunate fellow called Joe,
Has accepted it’s his time to go,
After failing to act,
With appropriate tact,
While filmed by an RTÉ show.

Road Safety Authority chief Moyagh Murdock

Ms Murdock has said that we need,
Higher fines for the wealthy show speed,
Hit their pockets hard,
To keep them on guard,
It’s mere common sense and not greed.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg

A billionaire Facebook tycoon,
Wants us all to be over the moon,
And if you don’t Like,
It he says take a hike,
As his daughter chews her silver spoon.

Labour’s Minister for the Environment Alan Kelly

The meeting went somewhat awry,
And almost made poor Alan cry,
When he stood up to speak,
On the groundbreaking leak,
His comrades thought him the bad guy.

Penguins at Dortmund Zoo, Germany

Please tell me this story’s not true,
That there’s no killer in Dortmund Zoo,
A new Jack the Ripper,
With a taste for a flipper,
Oh what will the poor penguins do?

Amy Schumer as she appears in the 2016 Pirelli Calendar

A calendar known for its pics,
Of glamorous, half naked chicks,
Has raised feminist cheer,
By choosing this year,
A more tasteful, respectable mix.

Swords nightlife.

Swords, Co Dublin on Saturday night

If you’re heading out for the night,
You might catch the beautiful sight,
Of a gang of young men,
Trade strong language then,
Have a proper traditional fight.
