The Confessors on RTÉ One revealed the sacrement would often involve “priests in a very abusive, voyeuristic, not to mention erotic way … drawing people out ”

It’s asserted that more than one priest
Was a dirty voyeuristic beast
Who made each confession
An x-rated session
A practice we’re told has now ceased

Dr. Anthony Fauci (right), the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the Trump campaign is running an ad featuring him without his permission

Anthony Fauci is sad
That Trump used his voice in an ad
As the doctor refuses
To say how he chooses
To vote, and he feels he’s been had

A treaty signed by England’s King Charles II granted 50 Flemish fishermen from Bruges “eternal rights” to English fishing waters.

It seems that an old English king
Passed a curious law allowing
The Flemish to fish
Off his coast as they wish
And some say that this right’s still a thing

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is to move the entire country to level three restrictions for the next three weeks, rather than the Level 5 requested by chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan

So Martin has gone on TV
To move us all to level three
But there is no way
He’ll do what the docs say
As five’s not where he wants to be

US President Donald Trump said this morning that he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus

Here’s news that will cheer you up quick:
It turns out that Trump is now sick
So let’s hope he’ll reach
For a bottle of bleach
As he’s claimed that that will do the trick
