England Manager Roy Hodgson and players at Lansdowne Road Nua yesteraday

It’s too soon to say who’s to blame,
For yesterday’s tedious game,
A slow scoreless draw,
Was all the fans saw,
And Roy Hodgson thinks that’s a shame.

Supporters of soccer will say,
That sport teaches children fair play,
If the other side cheats,
You’re in for some treats,
Shut up and enjoy your pay day.

At Broadsheet we’re big fans of Kim,
But some folk aren’t as fond of him,
They’ll scheme and they’ll plot,
Until Kim has them shot,
But their chances of winning are slim.

An article by Denis O’Brien in today’s Irish Times

I read that our old Maltese mate,
Is currently feeling the hate,
He sees with a frown,
That the plebs won’t lie down,
Oh when will his nightmare abate?

While equality had us distracted,
A ruling of court was enacted,
You’ll just have to guess,
What’s behind this whole mess,
As today all the news is redacted.

Your right to give children a whack,
Is suddenly under attack,
From those who do good,
I wish that they would,
Cut hard working parents some slack.

That popular fellow Sepp Blatter,
Is embroiled in a delicate matter,
The yanks lifted six,
Of his top sidekicks,
And are sitting them down for a natter.

Fianna Fail leader Michael Martin and Senator Averil Power

In Fianna Fáil’s victory hour,
The atmosphere turned a bit sour,
They picked up a seat,
But it looks like defeat,
As the party is left without Power.

It seems that teenagers should not,
Go joy riding in a fast yacht,
It’ll all come a cropper,
When the Garda chopper,
Leaves the kids in a tight spot.
