This morning’s news isn’t a joke
It’s enough to make decent folk choke
If you’ve wondered why
Your shellfish seem high
It turns out the shrimp are on coke.

Young people are failing to land jobs because their embraces are all wrong, a youth mentor says

When you go to shake someone’s hand

A US job listing seeking an account manager who is “preferably Caucasian” was removed on Sunday following uproar online

An IT firm in the Deep South

Norway believe they have stumbled upon a white whale that was trained by the Russian navy as part of a programme to use underwater mammals as a special ops force.

If you head out from Norway by sail
You might just encounter a whale
It has straps on its back
And it’s trained to attack
Like a beast from a strange sci-fi tale

You can get what you want in one day
Sent straight to your house
While you sit there and grouse
That your high street is dying away

When a fellow called James
Took the match by two frames
Which meant that his work here was done

Who is best known for telling a joke
And it seems that this man
Is bereft of a plan
He won using mirrors and smoke

The GAA is to ban overseas training for county squads and will also impose a restriction on the duration of home-based camps, the Irish Independent reports

The athletic heroes who play
Gaelic games must do so without pay
And now a new rule
Which seems rather cruel
Insists that they can’t go away

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said there is an open invitation to Donald Trump to visit Ireland but the US President  might only accept via Twitter

We may only find out by tweet
That Ireland’s expected to greet
An unwanted guest
That orange sex pest
Who might come to play golf, and to cheat
