Gardai say 10 per cent of drink drivers was detected between the hours of 6am-6pm

You from driving like a dangerous jerk

But it seems that Sir Bob
Now wants a new job
If Britain needs a ‘Healing Tsar’.

And not just down here
On our earthly sphere
There’s a glass ceiling up there in space

Are soon to be in for a shock
A beast like a rat
But far bigger than that
May be lurking round the canal lock
