Hot cross buns were traditionally only eaten on Good Friday but are now available in Australia on shelves after Christmas
In Australia a fresh hot cross bun

But people who bleat
About what others eat
Should relax and let folk have their fun

US President Donald Trump asked the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” votes to overturn the election results according to an audio recording

US President Donald Trump issued 15 pardons last night including ones to four former government contractors who were convicted in a 2007 massacre in Iraq

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has doubled down on his claim made yesterday in the Dáil that the “banks were not bailed out”
One still hears allegations about
The banks all getting a bail out

Might want to have a chat with you?
Well get ready because
Some boffins in Oz
Have said that it’s possibly true

The US Electoral College formally declared Joe Biden president-elect last night
We know that good women and men
Are measured and dignified when
They know they’ve been beat
So it’s really a treat
To see Trump lose again and again

An infographic rendering of the Swiss-cheese Covid model, including the ‘misinformation mouse’ eating new holes for the virus to pass through’
There are things we do to fight disease
Masks, hand-washing, distance, but these
Can’t work on their own
So the cornerstone
Of the strategy is some Swiss cheese
