A farmer decided he’d hide
Four kilograms of cyanide
To murder a bunny
Would it have been funny
If all of Roscommon had died?

Garda Commissioner Noirin O’Sullivan.
A Garda who uses gmail
Does not sound like much of a tale
But after this year
I’m gripped with the fear
That someone will want her in jail.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, who may cut the UK’s corporation tax rate to below 15 per cent, and Taoiseach Enda Kenny at 10 Downing Street last July
Some business types gather today
To hear the Prime Minister say
She’ll cut tax to the floor
Then cut it some more
Corporations should not have to pay.

Eoghan Murphy, junior minister at the Department of Finance
So many are feeling the pain
As insurance fees rocket again
But one bright young man
Has an excellent plan
You’re still screwed, but they’ll have to explain.

US Vice President-Elect Mike Pence at Trump Tower, NYC yesterday
The fascists are feeling the urge
To clean themselves out with a purge
After only a week
Their team starts to creak
As rivalries start to emerge.

The swingers who search while online
For excitement that’s brief and divine
Are now feeling the heat
Not from some kinky treat
They’ve been hacked by a villainous swine.

They gathered to gaze on the sight
Of Grafton Street bathed in pale light
Just to hear someone say
That the band wouldn’t play
Which seemed a poor end to the night.

Conor McGregor (right) and Eddie Alvarez (left( at a UFC press conference yesterday
A tired luvvie in a fur coat
Tried to grab the world’s press by the throat
But his act with a chair
Failed to go anywhere
And his one-liners hit a bum note.
