Pop tykes recording Do They Know It’s Christmas 

Bob Geldof has gathered a throng,
Of pop stars to sing a bad song,
All for charity,
Perhaps it’s time he,
Asked the locals, who think he is wrong.

Paul Murphy is rather bizarre,
If he thinks it’s not going too far,
To whip up a crowd,
‘Till they hurl abuse loud,
And try to flip over a car.

When asked if they’re willing to stay,
At work on their own holiday,
Almost eight percent will,
Keep toiling until,
They’re worn out, exhausted and grey.

The Gardaí are having a laugh,
When they say that they solve almost half,
Of this country’s crimes,
At the best of times,
They do half that, it says on this graph.

In Mayo there’s many a cow,
Feeling rather frustrated right now,
And Benjy the bull,
Is facing a cull,
‘Cause he wouldn’t get up on a Frau.

The Ashers said they would not bake,
A marriage equality cake,
And if their brave stand,
Breaks the law of the land,
That’s a risky decision to make.

Republican Thom Tillis and wife Susan react after results in Charlotte, North Carolina

I woke up to a beautiful sight,
The Yanks have at last seen the light,
Together they’ve said,
They’ll paint the House red,
And they’ve taken a lurch to the right.

In Limerick a priest has been told
That you can get cash for your gold,
It’s how the wise preacher,
Will pay for a teacher,
To instruct the young minds who’ve enrolled.

In order to live a long life,
That’s free from all worry and strife,
Go out and ride plenty,
Of women. Find twenty,
Who’re willing and won’t tell your wife.

Do you feel a cold northerly breeze,
As the leaves fall away from the trees?
You’ve seen nothing yet,
‘Cause the boffins all bet,
That soon the whole country will freeze.
