The yet-to-be-titled 25th Bond film will reveal Lashana Lynch as the new 007

There’s many a thespian guy
Who has played Fleming’s fictional spy
But now his code name
Has gone to a dame
Which may leave leave some fans asking why

Celebrity chef Marc Veyrat has asked for his restaurant to be removed from the Michelin Guide

Marc Veyrat, a fancy French cook
Has said that he was badly shook
At the loss of a star

Entitled to write their red book.

Beef baron Eoin Ryan, whose grass-fed Angus cross-reared in Limerick won the ‘World’s Best Fillet’ at the World Steak Challenge in Dublin yesterday

From tofu, there’s something they make
(But rush, if you’re wise
As it’s just won a prize)
A thick juicy world-beating steak

Scientists have found that goats are able to distinguish emotions from each other’s calls and also respond to the feelings of their peers

You may find this news rather queer

If they’re happy at all
Or whether they’re frozen with fear

As it’s all such a mess
But the Trumpites are no fans of him

US President Donald Trumps told a July 4th celebration that American revolutionary troops ‘took over airports’ in the 1700s

Before crossing the Delaware
You must have control of the air
And so Trump reports
That seizing airports
Was Washington’s style of warfare

Cerula (above) was a bishop in the fifth century before women were airbrushed from Christianity’s lead roles

A new book has just been released
Which claims at least one early priest
Was certain to be
A she, not a he,
But the numbers since then have decreased

The vast expanse of sea ice around Antarctica has apparently suffered a “precipitous” fall since 2014

An orbital scanning device
That measures the Antarctic ice
Says that in recent years
Even more disappears
Than anyone could think is nice
