Dr Bartneck, who I think is thick
Has insulted the world’s favourite brick
Lego won’t turn your child
Feral, violent or wild
Pay no heed to the egghead peacenik.

In a race in a much reduced field
Old Brendan made all others yield
It ain’t Alan’s hour
To take hold of the power
He’d cherish and treasure and wield.

Cliffs of Moher, Co Clare, the only county not to register a same-sex marriage

I see that the county of Clare
Is an old fashioned area where
The people who smile
As they walk up the aisle
Can never be said to be quare.

The Ha’penny Bridge, Dublin; 200 years old today

It’s time for loud singing and cheers
As we celebrate two hundred years
Of each thirsty mouth
Crossing the river south
To purchase some overpriced beers.

Of the things Enda hates there is none
Worse than people, who while having fun
Tend to go a bit mad
With their phone or iPad
He’s noticed there is always one.

Sinéad O’Connor

We know it’s a terrible sin
To have problems in the place in
Between your two ears
But forget all your fears
They found her. Let judgement begin.

Minister for Social protection Leo Varadkar

Young Leo once said that a prole,
Gets paid far too much on the dole
He had the intent
To cut twenty percent
But will he now he’s in control?

If one has been wondering how
To take care of a royal cow
Make sure that it’s had
Some unproven fad
As medicine’s rather lowbrow.

London receptionist Nicola Thorp, sent home from PwC for not wearing high heels

Some prominent businessmen feel
A woman should show off her heel
To please some old jerk
She puts up with at work
It makes Mad Men seem awfully real.

Remember, if you’re ever Queen,
Never to say anything mean,
At least not to the faces,
Of the lesser races,
You’re not to be heard, only seen.
