Pro Choice protesters (left) face off against Pro Life campigners outside Leinster House last night
If you’re waiting to find out the fate
Of the famous amendment called 8
Which can mean life or death
Well don’t hold your breath
Whatever will come will come late

British writer and journalist Melanie Phillips
A tiresome old jingoist Brit
Had a brain fart and sat to write it
Her boring fixation
With this blessed nation
Caused twitter to have a shit fit.

Now Trump has updated his plan
To bring in a new Muslim ban
That ensures huddled masses
Won’t get travel passes
Unless they’re approved by the Klan.

Our economy seems on the mend
So if you want the dark years to end
Then you and your spouse
As you save for a house
Must go shopping and spend spend spend spend.

If you’re fond of shamrocky tat
You’ll certainly want to know that
You now can be seen
Being fascist and green
By wearing an overpriced hat.

Members and supporters of the Traveller community outside Dáil Eireann last night
There were scenes of great felicity
As TDs sought publicity
Among a cheering crowd
Of travelers rightly proud
We’ve noticed their ethnicity

Passport control at Terminal 1 in Dublin Airport
In figures that came out this week
Immigration is down from its peak
This makes me see red
Was it something we said?
Or is Ireland no longer chic?

Some a-holes committed the sin
Of insulting our friend Úna-Minh
A nation’s no race
And to their disgrace
If it was, then they still wouldn’t win.

Yesterday: Her Kind
The first issue of 2000AD published on February 22, 1977
Have you heard of 2000AD?
A comic that’s just turned 40
It gave us Judge Dredd
Halo Jones, Durham Red
And filled all our childhoods with glee.
