Some yanks reckon that RTÉ,
Is better than the BBC,
I’m happy to say,
That I’ll proudly pay,
Eventually, my licence fee.

Last week, if you had a few grand,
You could pick up a nice landscape and,
Rejoice in the fact,
Of the least harmful act,
Ever signed by that hideous hand.

We wake up this morning just two,
Hundred years after Blücher came through,
Though some bounders say,
He was late on the day,
He beat Boney up at Waterloo.

Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David

A man with great hair, Donald Trump,
Is greasing the old parish pump,
And telling bad jokes,
To unimpressed folks,
Who’ll tell him to go take a jump.

Is it too much to ask now that each,
Educator first learn what they teach?
Before meeting a class,
A teacher should pass,
An exam, and practise what they preach.

Justice Michael Hanna

A High Court judge says we should find,
A new way to save womankind,
For Mike Hanna feels,
We should outlaw high heels,
If the government’s that way inclined.

Archbishop Eamon Martin

There’s no need for people to fret,
Over Martin’s civil marriage threat,
Did you really think,
That the lads wouldn’t blink,
You’ll have your big day in church yet

That honest man John Delaney,
Has been speaking to every TD,
He can get on the phone,
About Blatter’s loan,
While avoiding the full committee.

Tourists on the Punta Ballena strip in Magaluf, Majorca, Spain

The citizens of Magaluf,
Have decided that they’ve had enough,
Of being Gomorrah,
So starting tomorrah,
If you act out the cops will get rough.
