How they’ll go about starting a clan
It may be that weed
Is just what they need
To increase the sperm cells’ lifespan

Bales of cocaine with a ‘street value’ of €800 million was seized in the Atlantic by an EU force led by a former Garda

When they have a whole boat load of coke
Piled up by the tonne
But the cops spoil their fun
And send the whole thing up in smoke

In politics sometimes your name
Can get you ahead of the game
But is it really fair
For a young man to wear
The badge of his grandfather’s shame?

US President and Donald Trump with Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi

The White House has tried to beseech
Pelosi to let Donald’s speech
On his union’s state
Go ahead, but his fate
Is to sit in his office and screech
