obamaPresident Obama with Joe Biden (left) and John Boehner at last night’s ‘State of The Union’

Obama stood up to debate,
Why the Union’s in such a state,
He wants to take more,
From the rich for the poor,
Which makes his opponents irate.

Leo Varadkar, Nuala Carey and Kevin McLaughlin at the launch of ‘On The Dry’

For his health, at the start of the year,
Leo said he was giving up beer,
Which some gobshites might say,
Sounds a little bit gay,
But it’s not, and there’s no need to sneer.

Eoghan Murphy TD with Taoiseach Enda Kenny

The deputies in shirts of blue,
Don’t like to be told what to do,
So loosen the grip,
Of the hand on the whip,
And all of their dreams will come true.

While satire is under attack,
Thank God for the good folk at CRAIC,
Who’ll stand up and fight,
Against jokes about blight,
And give John Bull’s telly a smack.

The laudable Doctor Selim,
Has concocted a brilliant scheme,
If we obey him,
And keep our humour prim,
There’s no need for the violent extreme.
