North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, inspecting an intermediate-range ballistic missile test in 2017 (above), is among a list of favourites for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize

I reckon it would be great fun
If the peace prize goes to Kim Jong-un
Let him dress up and go
For a meal in Oslo
He deserves it for all that he’s done

‘The Trump Prophecy’, which casts Donald Trump as the ‘chosen one’ is to be screened in US cinemas

An omnipotent fellow named God
Has joined the Republican squad
He’s going to stump
For Donald J Trump
Which strikes me as just a bit odd.

Theresa May drag queens, from left: Fagulous, Ripley, Sue Gives a Fuck and Lydia L’Scabies.

There are some fellows out there who say
It’s fun to dress like Mrs May
You’ll look really neat
While running through wheat
And it’s certain to brighten your day

The Syria-bound Irish Army 58th Infantry Group at Cathal Brugha Barracks, Rathmines, Dublin 6 last month. Some members of the Defence Forces are being paid less than the minimum wage.

We all know that soldiers are tough
And the life that they lead can be rough
But one look at their wage
Is sure to enrage
It’s high time we paid them enough

Plans to open a robot brothel in Houston, Texas have been shelved

Some fellows consider it hot
To lie in a bed with a bot
But if they want to rent
They’ll have cause to lament
In Houston, where it seems they cannot

Former UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has described Theresa May’s ‘Irish backstop’ agreement with the EU as a “moral and intellectual humiliation”.

You know that it’s conference time when
Johnson tries thinking again
Here’s what must be done:
Go back to square one
And everything’s bound to work then

Gemma O’Doherty failed to secure a nomination to contest the Presidency of Ireland

If you ask for votes some people choose
To consider it and then refuse
So it’s best to keep calm
Don’t throw toys from the pram
It’s not fascism just ’cause you lose

US president Donald Trump drew laughter during an address to the United Nations assembly in New York yesterday

The world’s biggest bullshit emitter
Is more than a little bit bitter
He decided to reach
Out with a big speech
And all he got back was a titter.

 ‘Weetabix’ labels In a New Zealand shop must be covered up to protect local cereal brand ‘Weet-Bix’

A breakfast of dry compressed wheat
Doesn’t strike me as much of a treat
But in one hemisphere
The courts interfere
To let big corporations compete

The best of the Fine Gael team
Came up with a new housing scheme
I’m sure that they mean
To build more than fifteen
But for now it’s still just a pipe dream
