A President should remain calm
Not rant like some old theatre ham
If Nordstrom won’t stock
Your daughter’s new frock
Don’t throw your toys out of the pram

Minister for Transport Shane Ross wants drivers to take a second test
That hard working Minister Ross
Has said that this morning he’ll toss
Off a new policy
To improve safety
And remind us all that he’s the boss.

Never mind.
Scenes Of Moderate Violence is the stunning debut collection from award-winning poet John Moynes (top).
Written between 2013 and 2016 it depicts a world recovering from economic turmoil and then collapsing into fear and despair. There is also “a bit about a time travelling cowboy who can recite two poems at once”.
Hairy, windswept and interesting, John is crowdfunding for the printing of the collection and is reaching out to followers of his cherished Limerick A Day slot on the ‘sheet, which has made him the most frequently read living poet in Ireland.
A small pledge here will get you the buke and the priceless gift of of long-form Moynes.
Former US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama in Hayes Bar, Moneygall, Co. Offaly, during his state visit in 2011
Should we honour Barack in this town?
The prospect brought some comrades down
They’d damn him to hell
Along with Michelle
As a big money, blood thirsty clown.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary
The bean counters at Ryanair
Have just had a bit of a scare
It always feels galling
When profits are falling
So ignore them if they start to swear.

Seb Dance (left), a Labour MEP for London, protests Nigel Farage’s address to the European Parliament yesterday
In Europe a chap called Seb Dance
Decided he would take his chance
To alert the news wire
About a large fire
That had started inside Nigel’s pants

Once again railway bosses have found
An excuse not to go underground
The proposed station’s grand
But they don’t own the land
A failing which seems quite profound

An Ohio policeman Doug Bline
Volunteered to do something quite fine
Let a terminally ill
Girl get a massive thrill
She tazed him and left on cloud nine.

Donald Trump with the executive order banning citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for 90 days
The Donald treats the constitution
Like a hasty new year’s resolution
All men are made equal
Now has a sad sequel
Of savage and vile persecution.
