Presidential hopeful, independent Senator Gerard Craughwell

There are rumours that say we might see
A challenger for Michael D
Can Craughwell arrange
A bid for regime change
And finally set Ireland free?

Following Boris Johnson’s resignation yesterday, Jeremy Hunt (above) has been appointed UK’s Foreign Secretary

A fellow called Jeremy Hunt
Has been given a shunt to the front
After making a mess
Of the poor NHS
He’s a fool, and yes I’m being blunt.

Brexit Secretary David Davis, who has been leading UK negotiations to leave the EU, has resigned from government.

A stout honest fellow named Dave
Wrote his resignation and gave
It to Number Ten
And right about then
He dug his political grave

Victoria Road, Killiney, County Dublin last Monday

Can any true patriot blame
Those who cleanse our colonial shame?
These men will not cease
Until we’re at peace
In a land where the streets have no name.

If you’re flying and having a drink
Please don’t get so hammered you think
That having a smoke
Is merely a joke
Or you may find yourself in the clink

It’s an odd move for Leo to choose
To sympathise with Donald’s views
But over some food
In New York, he was rude
About people who work in the news

There’s no end to the heatwave in sight
Which will cause some people delight
But don’t forget there
Are those who’ll despair
As the heat means they can’t sleep at night

Left-wing veteran Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (‘Amlo’) has declared victory in Mexico’s presidential election

It’s all change in old Mexico
Where a fellow they all call Amlo
Has taken control
By topping the poll
I wonder just how this will go

Fianna Fail leader Micheál Martin

This morning there’s cause for good cheer
It seems that we’ll get one more year
Without an election.
The chance of rejection
Gives Micheál a dose of the fear

A familiar, farting unicorn was used to show off Tesla’s sketch pad feature

Elon Musk says that it would be lame
If his theft of a picture became
A question of tort
To be fought out in court:
Cheating artists is merely a game
