US President Donald Trump put the Ukraine crisis on ice to work out how to buy Greenland, it is claimed

It took effort to try to restrain
Trump from betraying Ukraine
The sad reason why:
Hy was trying to buy
Greenland. He’s smart and he’s sane.

The government is to introduce a levy of up to 25 cent on a disposable coffee cup

When you’re buying a fresh morning Joe
Do you take your coffee to-go?
Then you’ll soon face a levy
Which won’t be too heavy
But I thought that you might like to know

Facebook’s new logo (above) will begin appearing across its services such as Instagram and Whatsapp

Now Zuckerberg feels a bit shook
By the news so he wants a new look
For his number one line

The White House has refused to say the US president Donald Trump did not offer the leader of Ukraine a quid pro quo involving military aid and the investigation of his political rivals.

So we’re stuck with this mess
Until it’s time for him to go

An investigation into a hoax Nobel Prize call earlier this month to writer John Banville (above) has revealed it was not made from the offices of the Swedish Academy

The great Nobel Prize
But quickly realise
Some prankster was just having fun

While they drive underground
As it seems that the sound
Is something that cannot be borne

Some think it’s a shame
We’re not doing the same

US President Donald Trump (centre) at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Convention yesterday  in Chicago.

Chicago’s love of immigration

The mayor is too bold
To do as she’s told
And has notions far above her station

A press shot from the Vagina Museum, which is due to open at London’s Camden Market in November

In Camden there’s a museum where
They honour the bits found down there
But the fact you can sup
From a non furry cup
Has given the neighbours a scare

US Republican Senator John Thune (centre)) with Senator. Roy Blunt (left) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said a top envoy’s testimony about Ukraine ‘is not a good one’

A Republican mutters disdain
About what Trump did with Ukraine
This is no great surprise
Support would be unwise
In fact it would barely be sane
