Tim Martin, Chairman of Weatherspoons pub chain, came under fire as he said the company would not cover staff wages from the coronavirus

A gammon-faced arsehole called Tim
(Who’s unpleasant and seriously dim)
Thinks it’s a good laugh
To shit on his staff
His soul, like his pubs, is just grim.

O’Connell Street, Dublin 1 yesterday

Though there’s plenty of bad news around
This country won’t crash to the ground
You’ll soon go back to work
For a capitalist jerk
As our fundaments are all still sound

Northern Ireland First mInister Arlene Foster (left) and Deputy First Minister  Michelle O’ Neill yesterday

The Stormont executive choose
The shops that the public can use
But can people go on
With off licenses gone?
It’s a diktat that doesn’t amuse.

The five-metre albino Burmese python captured at a Gold Coast, Australia home

If you’re suffering fear and heartache
And you don’t know how much your can take
Then don’t open your door
In case, on the floor
There’s a five metre long Burmese snake

North Korea fired two projectiles at the weekend that appeared to be short-range ballistic missiles into the sea off the east coast of the Korean peninsula

All right thinking people agree
It’s time to stand up to the sea
And bould Kilm Jong Un
Is the only one
To fill all of our hearts with glee

 The numbers of African black rhinos – a a species driven to near extinction – have risen by several hundred

Far away on an African plain
Black rhinos are roaming again
While it may seem a hoot
To go there and shoot
Some big game I’d ask you to refrain

US Democrat Presidential hopefuls Joe Biden (left) and Bernie Sanders during a CNN debate  on Tuesday night

Lately there’s been some concern
About Primaries, later we’ll learn
If Sanders will go
And leave the race to Joe
Or if he’ll continue to Bern

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar addresses the nation last night

In news that is bound to appall
We’re now in this for the long haul
But the time will come when
We can go out again
And there’ll be drinks and hugs for us all

Last night: ‘This Is The Calm Before The Storm‘

 

The National Convention Centre, Dublin yesterday.

We’re settling in for week one
Of an extended absence of fun
So stare at the walls
Or grope your own balls
There’s nothing else now to be done

French chef and restaurateur Michel Roux OBE has died aged 78

Au revoir to Monsieur Michel Roux
Who taught British chefs what to do
He stood up to the plate
And was ready to grate
Cheese over heart warming stew.
