US President Donald Trump with British Prime Minister Theresa May at the G20 summit in Germany last month.
At last someone’s stood up to say
That there’s still somewhere called the UK
He thinks there’s a chance
That it’s somewhere near France
And he’s quite sure it’s not gone away.

So is it outrageous to think
That TDs should cough up for their drink?
Not quaff till they’re ill
And run up a bill
That they pay with a nod and a wink.

Anthony Scaramucci, Donald Trump’s communications director
So Anthony made a quick call
Full of language that’s bound to appall
And you will not believe
What he said about Steve
Poor old Bannon won’t like it at all.

The venomous Red imported Fire Ant
The Aussies are giving out grants
To wipe out imported fire ants
These small blighters bring
One hell of a sting
And could wipe out some native plants.

For the life of me I can’t see why
They’re still breaking news about Di
Why does anyone care
About that whole affair?
It’s time to let this matter lie

As its life signs grow ever more faint
We say goodnight to Microsoft Paint
It was easy and fun
But it got the job done
Though these days it’s looking quite quaint.

RTÉ newsreader Sharon ni Bheolain has criticised the gender pay gap at the station that allows male colleagues like Bryan Dobson (left) earn more for the same work
The women who work on TV
Are saying that they’d like to see
If themselves and the males
Are on different pay scales
For the same shows inside RTÉ

Justin Bieber performing in New York last year
In China the culture bureau
Said Bieber can’t put on a show
As officials are sure
That his work’s too impure
To be heard in a town like Guangzhou.

BBC’s biggest earners, from left: Chris Evans, Gary Linekar and Graham Norton
So Auntie decided to say
What celebrities take home in pay
And it seems that boys
Have more money for toys
But they hope the girls get more someday.

If you’ve found the heat too much to take
You’ll be glad that the clouds soon will break
There’ll be so much thunder
That people will wonder
If heaven can have an earthquake.
