As they’re teeing off for the Ryder,
Opinions on Rory grow wider,
If he wins he’s a hit,
If he loses, a Brit,
It’s a national sporting decider.

Ryder Cup 2012: Rory McIlroy Speaks Of ‘Great Honour’ At Leading Out Europe With Graeme McDowell (Telegraph)

The filthy old blueshirt machine,
Beat the decent and honest Róisín,
Though forced out of her job,
By that terrible mob,
She’ll always be both heard and seen.

Roisin Shorthall Resigns As Junior Health Minister (RTE)

Samuel Mullet (!) guilty of ‘haircut attacks’ on fellow Amish men and women.

Some fanatics from Ohio,
Lashed out at their old-fashioned foe.
It strikes me as weird,
To cut off a chap’s beard,
But then again what would I know?

John Moynes

I’m sad to say now it’s the norm,
For the chap who does Public Reform,
When he asks folk to say,
That they’ll give up their pay,
To get answers that aren’t very warm.

This isn’t the way it was planned,
For this speech to the wealthy and grand,
But it’s always a bitch,
When your words to the rich,
Get transmitted all over the land.
