US President Donald Trump walks off the podium after the official group photo during a NATO meeting yesterday in London, England
In a Palace late on Tuesday night
A camera recorded the sight
Of powerful folk
Jeering the orange bloke
Who took umbrage, then an early flight

Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, called one of the rescuers of the boys soccer team trapped in a Thai cave “pedo guy” on Twitter
Now Elon insists that it’s fine
To call someone a pedo online
“No one thought it was true
So please do not sue”
Is not a defence, it’s a whine

Writers shortlisted for the Bad Sex Award 2019
It’s that time when some judges decide
Which authors can’t write up a ride
Though some folk grow bored

In their home is a real Christmas tree
But should parents take
Home a synthetic fake?
The experts, it seems, can’t agree

Neanderthals may have gone extinct through bad luck rather than being outsmarted by Homo sapiens, reserachers claim

It seems they didn’t breed
Enough kids at a fast enough rate

Chef Marc Veyrat will try to force Michelin inspectors to hand over their confidential judging notes to explain why his restaurant was stripped of its coveted third star
A chef asks if Michelin are
Allowed to remove his third star

To say I don’t care
The whole thing is sad and bizarre.

Which is over, but made many sad

It’s all going dreadfully wrong
For the ruling class down in Hong Kong
The town made a choice
To speak with one voice
And Carrie Lam’s not looking strong

British soldiers at the junction of Moore Street and Parnell Street, Dublin 1 during the 1916 Rising. Cannabis plants worth an estimated €12,000 were found last week during searches in Moore Street buildings once occupied by the rebels

A rising is just what we need
And the place where they planned
To make their last stand
Is currently used to grow weed
