They’re ready to sign and to seal,
The “last ever” Croke Park Deal.
Before reading the terms,
Both left and right worms,
Will denounce it with all of their zeal.

It’s got to the stage that the guards,
Are marching and giving out yards,
And it’s scary but true,
That a dose of blue flu,
Could Shatter this whole house of cards.

The deputies came from as far,
As their stools in the Leinster House bar,
Now the IBRC,
Goes to KPMG,
And at long last we are where we are.

Unless you think you can do better?
Oh yes.
It’s an Anglo debt Prom night/morning ‘rick off.
All Limericks by 11am 1pm.
Update: The winner:
The Oireachtas sat in a panic,
To debate in a manner quite manic.
But, ‘midst all the bitching,
They were merely switching
The deck chairs around the Titanic.

Some progress, I suppose I should say,
In parliament’s halls yesterday,
As a nation they’ve grown,
Now an heir to the throne,
Can marry a protestant gay.

Beatrix, the old Orange Queen,
Has departed the Dutch royal scene,
And now her son Will,
Will take over until,
The Dutch realise their system’s obscene.

First the budget, so lacking in charms,
Then a u-turn on panic alarms,
They’ll give back what they stole,
Just to stay in control,
They’re really just chancing their arms.

In Britain old Leveson gave,
Out when newspapers would misbehave,
There’s no need for that here,
As it fast becomes clear,
That our papers will dig their own grave.

Young Mary, conceived without sin,
Was told there’s no room at the inn,
So she lay in a shed,
With some hay for a bed,
And gave birth to God’s next of kin.

Raise up your hands and rejoice,
The archbishops have lent us their voice,
It seems that TDs,
Should vote as they please,
At long last the church is pro choice.

The man who sits in Labour’s chair,
Saw a budget that wasn’t quite fair,
So his vote he did flip,
Now he’s angered the whip,
And nearly made Pat Rabbitte swear.
