An updated version of the Drake equation suggests we are all alone in the universe

Our experience so far has shown
That space is a vast lifeless zone
And equations by Drake
Have conclusions that make
It more likely that we’re all alone

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish in Sandycove, County Dublin

There’s a creature that lives in the sea
Which is bigger than it used to be
So if you get a sting
Off this terrible thing
Just sprinkle the sore place with wee.

It’s a big day for those who might fear
That they’ll miss the event of the year
So get online and book
Or you’ll be a bit shook
And won’t see Pope Francis appear.

Harley-Davidson motorbikes are earmarked for tariffs in a EU-US trade war

The G7 couldn’t persuade
Trump not to put tariffs on trade
So a yank motorbike
Will have a price hike
You might want to stick to home made

US President Donald Trump said he wants America to have a “space force”

When fascists put children in cages
And don’t want that on the front pages
They launch a new race
To put soldiers in space
Which is evil and sad and outrageous

U2, from left: Edge, Bono, Adam and Larry

Each ambassador at the UN
Deserves a night out now and then
So we’ll take them to U2
And they’ll know what to do
Vote for us, or it happens again

Insurance costs has meant some Ireland schools have banned running in the schoolyard

Kids should go out in the sun
And blow off some steam and have fun
But though it’s not nice
Because of the price
Of insurance they’d better not run

Russian women should abstain from sex with foreigners visiting the country for the World Cup, advises Moscow politician Tamara Pletnyova (above)

Much to Pletnyova’s chagrin
Some pure blooded women may sin
If they choose to lie down
While the World Cup’s in town
With men with the wrong colour skin
