Government Chief Whip Paul Kehoe (left) and Enda Kenny in 2010

There once was a Chief Whip called Paul,
With an ominous warning for all,
Opponents of Kenny,
He says there are many,
Years left till the Taoiseach will fall.

Tiarnan O’Mahoney, one of three Anglo officials convicted at the High Court yesterday for concealing accounts connected to Sean Fitzpatrick from the Revenue

I thought ‘twould be to no avail,
That this prosecution would fail,
I just can’t believe,
Do my eyes deceive,
Did a judge put some bankers in jail?

Alessandro Ford, the first western student to be enrolled at Kim Il-sung University.

For five months a student named Ford,
Wasn’t lonely or frightened or bored,
He studied the tongue,
Of the great Kim Il-sung,
In the land that’s forever adored.

I can’t quite believe that it’s five,
Years that Broadsheet’s been alive,
So let’s all take stock,
Of the Smithfield horse cock,
And hope Chompsky continues to thrive.

Froome-PA

Tour de France 2015 winner Chris Froome in Paris yesterday

A Kenyan-born Brit called Chris Froome,
Took his bike for one hell of a zoom,
From Holland to France,
But his speedy advance,
Was drug-enhanced, many assume.

Down Camogie player Catherine McGourty

If you hit a ball with a stick,
Very far, flying true, flying quick,
Then shout out Hooray,
You’ve won a holiday,
As long as you come with a prick.
