A study by boffins has found,
That Ireland’s incredibly round,
I think, in their way,
They’re trying to say,
We’re dynamic and modern and sound.

If you’re old and you need to keep fit,
But you’re not sure how to do it,
Make sure a robot,
Is something that’s not,
Lacking from your work out kit.

Playboy will no longer include,
Pictures of chicks in the nude,
But I really can’t say,
That there’s any way,
It will sell if it stops being lewd.

Tanaiste Joan Burton and Taoiseach Enda Kenny

The taoiseach has told us one thing,
About what the new year will bring,
It seems Ivan Yates,
Was wrong on the dates,
The election will be in the Spring.

Ignore all that West British jive,
Our language continues to thrive,
Though some call it dead,
An expert has said,
It’s still changing, which means it’s alive.

Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.

Obama has taken some flack,
But he’s facing a novel attack,
From an old man from Oz,
Who’s agin him because,
He reckons he’s not really black.

A Reenactment of the O Donovan Rossa funeral, O’Connell Street, Dublin in August

The centenary early next year,
May end up a little austere,
You’ll be working for pay,
The very next day,
So don’t go too hard on the beer.

An American hunter called Chase,
Found himself in a terrible place,
With a big grizzly bear,
So without a care,
He plunged his arm into its face.

Donald Trump at a rally in Tennessee on Saturday

Trump reckons there’ll always be one,
Mad genius with a gun,
What steps will he take,
For the schoolchildrens’ sake?
The answer, quite simply, is none.

The naked burger mural in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia

Though Australians can be quite rude,
They prefer their art not to include,
Some under dressed chums,
Showing boobies and bums,
And making a mess of their food.
