An honest old fellow called Ming
Was eager to get on the wing
So he whinged at the gate
But the plane wasn’t late
It was early, and that fact must sting.

David Davis, UK’s Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union

Get ready for mountains of spin
As Brexit proceedings begin.
Do the Brits really feel
They can get a good deal,
That Davis can go out and win?

Tourism expert Professor Michael Hall has described Dublin as a ‘rip-off’ destination

If you’re looking for fun and good cheer
Then be careful, for some people fear
That our prices are high
And they just can’t see why
A person would want to come here.

US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters at The White House yesterday

It’s a tense time for that once great nation
As Trump’s under investigation
But there’s no need to fear
For I’m sure we’ll soon hear
A perfectly good explanation.

Leo Varadkar in government buildings last week following his election as Fine Gael leader

At long last we get what we need
A Taoiseach who was born to lead
So rejoice in the sight
Of a step to the right
As our nation is swallowed by greed

US President Donald Trump at his first cabinet meeting yesterday

A cabinet met to find ways
To shower a toddler with praise
It may seem bizarre
But that’s how things are
It’s like North Korea these days.

Marine Biologist Kevin Flannery with a rare moray eel found off the coast of Kerry

When swimming it isn’t ideal
To bump into a wild moray eel
So stay far from Kerry
Or else you may very
Well end up as a fish’s meal.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May (centre) after voting in yesterday’s General Election

An election’s a smart thing to call
If you think that you’ll stay standing tall
Now the last song is sung
And the parliament’s hung
And the Tories ran into a wall.

At polling booths in the UK
The Brits make their choices today
Will enough feel the urge
To join the red surge
And steal victory from T May?
