Ryan Tubridy at the launch of RTÉ’s Autumn/Winter season last month

A broadcaster called Tubridy,
Is selling a house near the sea,
He’s flogging the place,
‘Cause there’s no parking space,
Which sounds rather awkward to me.

nuclear

The Yongbyon nuclear facility, Pyongyang, North Korea.

The boffins who work in Yongbyon,
Have turned their equipment back on,
To build a big missile,
And fill it with fissile,
Material. Or is it a con?

The singer they call Elton John,
Is dying to take Putin on,
And explain the delights,
Of protecting gay rights,
Which he thinks is a sine qua non.

vogue

Vogue Williams at Connolly Station, Dublin

It’s a bother, a bore, and a pain,
To be filmed while you wait for a train,
When your hair’s looking bad,
Then end up in an ad,
And not get a chance to abstain.

harcourt

Harcourt Street, Dublin on Junior Cert results night last year.

The youngster who went out last night,
Failed to give the newspapers a fright,
Though some of their peers,
Got messy on beers,
Most made it back home all right.

Kilkenny, winners of the 2015 Liam McCarthy Cup, in Croke Park yesterday

The hurlers who came from the west,
Dropped the ball in the ultimate test,
Now there won’t be any,
Cats milked in Kilkenny,
Today, as they’re once more the best.

So some wealthy folk reckon that,
The rates of our tax should be flat,
And the wise Mr Hobbs,
Thinks this would create jobs,
But what are the chances of that?
