Marmite is no longer just a toast topping with leading chefs adding it to everything from scallops to pasta

When I’m sitting down for a feast
I want no trace of extract of yeast
So this new Marmite fad
Is making me sad
And I won’t eat out until it’s ceased

The State would need about 16 jet fighters with three crews each to implement a full air defence capability

Some people think that we should get
The Air Corps a shiny new jet
But alas that would mean
We’d soon need fifteen
More, and that’s not a cheap bet

The Arctic global seed vault has reached 1m varieties stored in its deep freeze.

The boffins are widely agreed
That protecting the Earth’s stock of seed
Would be very nice
So up in the ice
They’ve buried a huge pile indeed

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar during the final TV leaders’ debate at the RTE studios in Donnybrook, Dublin. 4 on February 4, 2020

The voters returned a dead heat
So Martin and Leo will meet
For a sham of a talk
Before they both walk
Away from a cabinet seat

A large fortune, but sadly the code
To access the cash
Which was earned growing hash
Disappeared sometime back down the road

Bono attends to Johnny Sexton during a visit to the Ireland rugby team camp

It’s every top sports player’s fate
To have Bono serve you a plate
And then hear him speak
For the guts of a week
About how being Irish is great

The Utah state senate voted unanimously yesterday to effectively decriminalise marrying multiple spouses

In Utah they’re suffering strife
As in that state polygamy’s rife
But now a new rule
Says it’s pretty much cool
For a chap to take more than one wife

A second nest of snakes has been found dumped in North East England days after 13 royal pythons were found in the same spot.

Most people would think it a sin
To throw your old snake in the bin
But in Sunderland
They will do it and
Then come back with more of its kin

United States Attorney General William Barr (left) has sharply criticised President Donald Trump’s prolific Twitter habit

The US AG William Barr
Reckons some of his boss’s tweets are
A constant distraction
From Will’s legal action
As Trump’s rants can go much too far
