All canvassers must try to meet,
Every voter that lives on each street,
But stay safe and sound,
And avoid any hound,
That thinks you look like a nice treat.

It wasn’t a good week at all,
For wannabe Deputy Hall,
Since his innocent crack,
About owning a black,
Was leaked. Now his back’s to the wall.

If you’re desperate to go out and work,
For an arrogant half-witted jerk,
Just assert your degree,
Is one from TCD,
To impress the sad starry-eyed berk.

For too long the scandal dragged on,
And at long last he’s quit and he’s gone,
But while folk gloat and cheer,
They question, and fear,
Can Finance survive without John?

The numbers are all good again,
According to wise foreign men,
Let’s simply assume,
We won’t screw up this boom,
We’re smarter than we were back then.

At the GRA’s annual lark,
Their boss made a shocking remark,
He’d quite like a gun,
That won’t kill but will stun,
Mr Parker seems like a bright spark.

As the Vatican struggles to paint,
Over decades of scandal and taint,
For some reason they reckoned,
That John Paul the Second,
Was the perfect man to make a saint.

The pram has thrown out all the toys,
In a day full of fury and noise,
This news will shock all,
Those who don’t watch football,
Man United have let go of Moyes.

I’m sure that you all will agree,
This news is a good thing to  see,
Despite all our fears,
A jury of peers,
Let our national hero go free.

In Kerry they feel at a loss,
For their council room lacks a big cross,
To stand proud between,
Some crook, some gombeen,
And some slimy political boss.
