US President Donald Trump made the case for a southern border wall in a live television address last night

With his border wall still out of reach
The President made a big speech
Now here’s a surprise
It was chock full of lies
It really is time to impeach

Sligo farmer Andy ‘The Bull’ McSharry said he will kill any dogs found with or without a lead on his land.

A farmer is taking a stand
Against any dog found on his land
And though you may plead
That your pet’s on a lead
He’ll still open fire out of hand.

Russian model Oksana Voevodina (right) married Malaysia’s Muhammad V of Kelantan (left) in Moscow last week

A king who once sat on a throne
Said he could continue alone
Then a young Russian beauty
Turned his head from his duty
That’s a risk to which all men are prone

Belgium recorded 255 reports of UFOs in 2018, an increase on the 171 witnessed in 2017

One thing we all know is true
Is in Belgium there’s not much to do
So to Flemish surprise
When they looked to the skies
They saw something come out of the blue

China has made history by landing on the far side of the Moon

Now China, Earth’s biggest commune
Has reached the dark side of the moon
Though in the space race
They’ve missed out on first place
It’s still something one shouldn’t lampoon

Incoming Senator Mitt

Is safe to attack
The president’s back
But will he score a palpable hit?

The Garda division of Cavan/ Monaghan recorded a detection rate of 19.11 per 1,000 of the population for both drugs and alcohol

In Cavan it seems people think
It’s okay to drive when you drink
But this strange disorder
That thrives near the border
Can’t be met with a nod and a wink

UK Prime Minister Theresa May and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the House of Commons yesterday

As one all the Tories conclude
That Jeremy was rather rude
To their dear leader May
But what did he say?
Who cares while their country’s still screwed?

US President  Donald Trump has agreed to dissolve his charitable foundation

The Donald once sought acclamation
By running his big Trump Foundation
Which he called a success
But the books were a mess
Which defied any honest narration
