The Tories are starting to feel
That Brexit will shortly be real
But their homework’s not done
So a deal won’t be won
And the future just doesn’t appeal.

The number of pubs in the Republic of Ireland has fallen by 1,477 since 2005
It’s sad that we’ve fallen so far
But let’s face it, we are where we are
Let’s share this one goal
To save Ireland’s soul
And as patriots march to the bar

US First Lady Melania Trump speaks during a cyberbullying prevention summit yesterday
The First Lady says rudeness online
Is something that’s never benign
But her husband Don
Just keeps tweeting on
About Brennan, and reckons it’s fine

Limerick hurlers celebrate their first All-Ireland win since 1973 at Croke Park yesterday
Ah, Limerick at long last you’ve got
Back again to the number one spot

You may think you’re all that, but you’re not.

Londoner Tereza Burki is suing an elite dating service for £12,000 after she failed to meet anybody

To meet someone nice on a date
But Seventy Thirty
Lacked enough flirty
Chaps, though they charge a high rate

French far right politician Marine Le Pen (left) has been invited to speak at this year’s Web Summit by the event’s co-founder Paddy Cosgrave (right)
It must be embarrassing when
You set up a conference and then
Much to the delight
Of the very far right
You’re giving a stage to Le Pen

The Observatory bar of the Grand Central Hotel in Belfast is selling beer at £8 a pint
In Belfast they’ve opened a bar
Where some of booze prices are
So frightfully high
You’d soon question why
You chose to go there for a jar

Hawk Cliff, Dalkey, County Dublin
In Dalkey the locals don’t seek
To sneak a quick peek at your cheek
And to bathe in the nude
Is not only rude
But the action of some crazy freak

US Vice President Mike Pence announcing plans for a ‘Space Force’ yesterday
Trump’s Spiro Agnew Mike Pence
Outlined his new plans for defence
And the dangers they face
In the vacuum of space
It was stupid and pointless and dense.
