Energy minister Pat,
Really should know by now that,
Old Machiavelli,
Would’ve stayed off the telly,
Where it’s easy to sound like a prat.

Free Staters really can’t brag,
After letting our finances sag,
But our staunch northern chums,
Are back beating their drums,
And rioting over a flag.

Some good news for the old fourth estate,
To distract them from Leveson’s fate,
Let the punters consume,
All the news from the womb,
As they wait for young Kate to dilate.

Unless you think you can do better?
Yes, it’s a Tuesday Interminable Royal Maternity ‘Rick Off.
Lines close at 4.45pm. 5.30pm
Winning Limerick revealed at 5.15pm.
UPDATE: The ‘rick judged best is:
There was a young woman called Kate
She thought it was something she ate
that made her feel ill
but no, it was Will
Who’d implanted a new head of state

In the castle they have a convention,
Which I feel is well worth a mention,
They’ll be fixing our laws,
Or adding new flaws,
I do hope they’re paying attention.

Has an interesting point of view,
We’re not free, it would seem,
Unless we can blaspheme,
I’m convinced what this man says is true.

Way back in two thousand and eight,
A Bulgarian went out quite late,
And never came back.
It’s “okay” to attack,
And murder the people you hate.

LGBT Noise together with Amnesty International will be protesting outside the Bulgarian Embassy on Friday at 6pm to protest the country’s failure to “adequately investigate and prosecute homophobic and transphobic hate crimes”. Facebook page here.

Our rulers have made a big mess,
Of this issue, but still I must stress,
That protecting kids’ rights,
Can’t be stopped by those shites,
So vote Yes, I said Yes, I said Yes.
John Moynes
Unless you think you can do better?
Oh yes, it’s a Friday Children’s Ref’ ‘Rick-off.
All Limericks by 3pm.

I’m sick of these whinging ingrates,
Who don’t understand market rates,
So kneel down and give thanks,
To the chaps who run banks,
Without whom we’d be in dire straits.

Now everything thing is said and done,
And at last this whole race it is run,
But each bloody swing state,
Came in far too late,
So well done to whoever has won.

Just one day left to strut and to preen,
For our candidates, ever so keen.
Is it too close to call?
Oh God, no. Not at all.
C’est fini, roll on 2016.
